I think I like the black better. It just seemed to flow the windows from front to back better. Props for originality.

Well, I ordered two sets off of ebay. First one that came.. it was some cheap plastic crap with chrome on it. It felt and looked cheap so I chucked it. I then bought some stainless teel ones off of ebay, but dude... the fitment was all off. Like at least 1/2 inch short for each piece. Didn't want to put that crap on my car either so I tossed those.

So after spending 100 bucks on two sets I called up my friend who owns a body shop. He ordered a sheet of stainless steel metal and cut them to the correct measurements and put them on for me.

Should've done that from the beginning.. would've been free.
