I don't like it myself, But what do I know

I maybe wrong But the Z store carries them also

Seems to me like it would increase wind resistance with no benefit. They do have a nice "jet intake" look to them but not nice enough to put on my DD just for the eye appeal. Would look great on a show car.

Edit: Plus, it's hard enough to see out that side as it is. Insanity to block even more of the view. Great for a show car but not the road.

Edit 2: Egads! You have to roll the windows down to open/close the doors! Forget to roll the window down (I can see that being very easy to do, especially for a passenger) and you rip the cowls off or break the window.
Edit 3: Not true. The cowl does not extend forward enough to interfere with opening/closing the door. Thanks to KaienZ34 for pointing this out.

Useless piece for a useless window.....they complete eachother.

On the other hand my car won't be seen with these.

Im almost positive that increases your horsepower.

Seems like it would come off as well after gaining a bit of speed.

All of my what...seriously the eff is the point? Even though I think it's hideous, I can understand if it just covers the already-useless window, but to cover the main windows has to be the dumbest idea I have ever heard of...
