Well, to each their own, but I have ventvisors (sorry, no pics), and I don't feel that they are ugly. The ones I have are in-channel, so they don't stick out like traditional ventvisors. The one drawback I have noticed is that they make the already small window opening even smaller, which makes large drive-thru food pick-ups tricky. Also, when you install them, the auto-up windows don't like obstructions, but everything has stretched out to fit now.

I have the In-Channel Vent Visors and love them. They have a nice medium tint that matches my cars tint and they are low profile so they flow with the TC's shape. As said before they are tight at first but work their way in place after a week or so. My only issue with them is rattling when I pump up some bass in cooler weather haha Oh well can't have it all.

Installed Last Winter

I have these in-channels on my car as well. Im not saying their ugly, im not saying their hella nice. I just need something to keep my black car cool during those hot days. Even a little crack on the window scares me when i leave it open. So this vent visor helps set some sort of security.

i got them and i like the way it looks. Its pretty functional over form.

Plus i bought my vent visors from WeatherTech.com and they dont come with double-sided tape like Wade. So i can take it off whenever i feel like it. =) Plus the quality is better with WeatherTech.
