Nice! Do the sticky tape stick onto the black trim piece or onto the paint? Thanks in advance!

Nope! Clearance looks so good that even if the windows didn't auto-scroll down, it would still clear the visors!

Just got these today -- thanks to Nigel for the delivery.

Going to put them on tonight and test that theory. My windows have the non scroll down mod, but i'm going to be removing that after a test =).

They extend laterally for the most part, and then just a slight curve at the very end... So I would assume it would never hit even if you tried.

yup, they didn't touch with the window mod -- I took that mod off since it doesn't get that cold here. So now the window slides down a little again after I open the door. Tints are cured and the visors are done =) Very happy with it. Will have pictures up tomorrow morning after I take some pics for the white -- I have to admit, white/black tuxedo type look fits this car well --

I didn't notice a difference. I just feel these make the car look aesthetically pleasing to the eye and maybe you can open your window during the rainy season just a little.

No noise reduction though.

Here's some images:

None im afraid. Most of the noise is coming from the wheel wells due to the lack of sound deadening material.
