I'm beginning to really like these, particularly for the price. @Tcoat, @Cerbrian photos show the "droop" we were discussing was definitely an illusion created by the extended blades.

I might like something with a little narrower (back to front) blade, can't decide.

Never got any reply back from IKON about the general availability of theirs.

Can someone please post a link to a good place to buy the Ikonz? Hopefully with more pics I'd like to look more into getting these.

Also for comparison sake here are the TRD ones: about $1000

It's a group buy and they are still sending out the louvers to the first batch of people who purchased them. So not sure when the second group buy will start

Thanks for the link. Bah! I hate facepoop, don't have or ever want an account. I need to wait and use my wife's account to check this out. I'm taking a guess it costs between $600-$800.

Paint or clear coat. Every plastic item, even oem, does what you describe.

425 was the price before the group buy.

I posted in a bunch of places on FB groups and on FT86Club and had my post removed here because I didn't have the proper credentials to post group buys. Was just trying to get the word out.

But yeah, mine are supposed to be arriving today. I'll try to remember to post a picture of mine laying on the car. I want to get a clay bar to do a window cleaning before I mount.

Super excited to see them. I think they'll compliment my build just right.

Same here. Vendors who insist on using it can set up their account so it doesn't require login to view, so vendors that don't immediately lose my interest.

I did send them an email asking about them but after 5 days no response. Not very encouraging.

I was thinking maybe a carbon fiber wrap, although it would be a pain.

Oh a wrap might look really nice. Thanks for the idea.

Hmm! How is the visibility with these? Not sure whether I should go for it or nah! Never been a fan of louvres on cars as I feel like it affects the visibility. but that is just me!

Visibility isn't really compromised, it was something I wasn't sure of either but I'm really glad I got them.
