Looks like 8 lock-in points that adhere to the window plus 2 tabs along the bottom edge.

I think @Dadhawk was hoping for these. I know i'm going to have to seriously consider these. I love them.
Oh, heck yes, although I do like the 10 blade better than the 8 blade.

Looking closely at the pictures, I wonder if its not a (relative) quick-disconnect at the mounting points? If you zoom in, they appear to be made to turn easily. Sadly, it does not look like it is hinged.

I see no purpose in this.

Air turbulance slowing the car down.
Debris trap.
Difficulty in cleaning window.
Much more expensive than tint.
Expensive.
Ugly.

Ceberus is a necessary hero - keeps them in and you out (unless you belong there).

$900 could be spent somewhere else that is absolutely more useful.

I'm sort of up in the air the more I look at them. The prototype one I would have bought immediately, real life unseen. The production one I believe I'll have to see in person, which of course will be difficult.

I'll wait until someone makes a replica, but even the 7 blades are growing on me now...

Remember how Subaru was charging almost $700 for their rear "diffuser" and now you can get the exact same things for less than a $100 on eBay? Yeah...
