yes get them, i got mine about a month ago and have liked them alot cause it's been raining on and off here i can drive with the window halfway down without getting water inside, only thing that i didn't like was how you have to break them into the windows so they can roll up completely but i have no regrets about getting them.

yea, ive been on the fence on this one too... it does look pretty good on the tc from the pics ive seen, especially on a bsp. it would really come in helpful from time to time but im not sure if i want something like that to stand out on the car. another thing im wondering is how this is held in place. i have my windows tinted and i dont want to get some and then have them destroy my tints. if anyone that has experience with this, can you give us some info as to how they hold up (both the tint and the visors themselves). any info would be appreciated.

Walterego, you should leave the steelies on. The tC actually pulls it off.

it only looks good cuz its clean n kinda cop lookin w/ the "bling" rings its dirty now n looks like crap due to the weather. only thing i dont like is that the tire isnt wide. i bet a drop would compliment it nicely. let's talk about my wheels here: [link]

back on topic... i got em cuz i like to aerate the car during summer, i can leave the windows slightly open. it works to a point during rain. n i'm a smoker so it helps out.

get them if ur going for functionality, not much for looks, only cuz it leaves the back window bare n some ppl think that it looks incomplete.

n i like how the weathertechs aren't glued in, u just pretty much pop them in.

yes they pop right in and it's on the outer part of the window so it won't mess up your tints and by breaking them in i mean the 1st day you put them up you won't be able to roll up your windows automatically or else they will roll back down cause it's taking up space in between that gap so you have to leave your windows up for about a week which is what i did and then you can roll them up and down without a problem. it also saids that on the instructions. Blizzard i meant to put "break them in" not break the window visor itself.

yes 2 pieces, 1 for each side. those are the basic 3m visors which are ok just that sticking it on there then wanting to take it off is a pain.

i voted yes, i;ve had them for over a year and i LOVE them! plus im a smoker so it helps big time from getting wet in the rain. i have to get new ones tho because when the _______ that broke into my car smashed the window they also cracked/chipped the rain guard too

i like the look of the visors, it gives the tc a more aggresive look and helps break away from the mundane stock look.
