Pics of them mounted? Did you mount on the trim or paint?

I will upload some pictures tomorrow. Didn't take any pictures after install yet =P.

I mounted mines on the trim. Have to be very patient to line it up and then open/close the door multiple times quickly to ensure the glass doesn't hit.

Purchased a set of e-bay clip-on replicas! It may be a bit before I report in, as I may wait to install until the weather turns nice again.

Make sure you use the templates that come with the visor!

I'm a stickler for instructions, so you can imagine that I will be following instructions as closely as I can

So with the nice turn in the weather this past weekend, I installed my clip-on deflectors. Install was relatively easy, once I figured out proper mounting.

A couple tips: First, make sure that you mount the clips correctly. To do this, mock up the clips and see if the bend in the clip lines up with the mold line of the visor (basically where the 3M tape is attached). Secondly, with the clips, they are thin metal and bend easily. Make sure when you are sliding them into the molding that you finesse it in as opposed to just slamming it in--you will bend the clip and your alignment may be screwed up.

Overall, fairly easy to install and looks good. Here's the final result!
