Window Deflectors anyone?

Anyone installed window deflectors on their 4th gen TL? Any pics? I was looking for oem ones, but was not able to locate them.

Have the Weathertech deflectors installed. They are extremely easy to install and they are definitely high quality. Pictures are posted in the wash and wax section. Look for Slickooz and his custom detailing pics.

Would recommend purchasing them. Might wanna check Amazon first. Definitely worth the money though.

Did you go with the light or dark tint? There isn't any legal issue using the dark correct?

Went with the dark tint. No legalities with these deflectors as they don't interfere with line of sight. Went with dark also because I have 20% all around.

I wish I could say I am surprised. Since I live in MA I wouldn't be surprised if they are one of those states.

I just don't think the window visors look good on the TL. Any year TL for that matter. I like how they work on cars but? Also I've never heard of them being illegal in any states. The dark tinted ones do make the A pillar thicker which could be a concern for some people?

They look great on my car. I have the dark ones. It nice to be able to crack the window when it rains. As you know, without the visors, the least little crack of the windows and the water pours in.

Nick, many like them-I'm not a fan....

I just don't think they add to the look of the car, nor are they that functional, but that's me....

They are definitely functional. I had them on my 92 Maxima and I have them on my 97 4Runner and they work great.
I just don't think they look good on the TL's for some reason? I think they ruin the body lines on the TL's?

The ones by weather tech do NOT stick out like that. They look factory. I have a pic on here somewhere with mine installed.
