I want to see them on the car before deciding to buy! Does anyone here have a set on?

They look great and are very stealthy... With that being said, unfortunately I still wouldn't get them because of the chance they may scratch up the windows over time.

I ordered a set on Tuesday. I will post pics when they come in.... I think the shipping for weathertech is slow

I hope they look good. I actually really like the look of the JDM ones but at the end of the day I couldn't bring myself to spend 450 on them. I was thinking maybe I can spend 100 on these and 300 on a front lip!

Lol I made a thread about these a couple weeks ago to see if anyone bought these yet. I really want to see how they look on the IS before I buy them. Please post pictures after you put them on!

Here are the picture guys! I think they look great. My only complaint (maybe in my head only) I hear the outside more noise like cars passing by and very faint wind noise. I took them off and drove around and it was more quiet. It's not like it's much louder... I have music in typically anyway so it should be ok. The wind noise might just the the wind blowing against the deflectors or I am just hearing things?

How is the installation? Does it have adhesive on the back or does it just snug right into the window seals. Could you please provide front and rear shots?

The Windows hit the visors as it goes up. In the beginning it kept rolling back down. After a few tries of of opening and closing it was able to close just fine. It only did that on one of 4 Windows.

There was only adhesive on the rear visors. I can post more picture on Friday.
