Has anyone compared the weather tech ones to the Runion ones? The Runion ones look thicker, from the picture I saw.

Weather tech site only allows you to select light tint, can you order dark tint?

I know the Weather Tech's fit up unside the weather strip, while the Rumion ones stick on the outside of the door frame. That makes a big difference in how they look. But I also noticed they looked like thinner plastic than the Rumions.

As for the lighter tint issue since I see it come up a lot. You could use what people use for lights, like the VHT Nightshades paint, and paint the inside of the Weather Tech shades. Doing it on the inside would still leave the glossy outer while making it darker.

WeatherTech are thick much thicker than any AVS model. Rumions are nice but the price difference not everyone will go for.

Auto Vent Shade is another company that makes vent visors. However, they currently don't make them for the 2008 xB

I just want the front ones installed, I probably won't install the back ones. Can you order just the front ones or do you have to get a kit? I want to roll my front windows down some to let out the South Florida heat each day. I'm at work for 10 -12 hours a day. With afternoon showers almost daily in the summer.

You have to buy all 4pcs. However, I'm going to call them to see if you can order front or rears.

Group buy in the other thread.

Here are some pics:

They actually look good tinted light. I have 15% all around and the color of the window comes right through them.
