Wind Guards Anyone?

I'm looking for some wind guards molded for our cars. Because I don't have the heater/AC in my car, pretty much rolling down the window is my only option. And because of this, I would like to be able to roll it down maybe halfway when on the freeway or something without having to hear the loud wind resistance by my head. So, does anyone know where I can get one for both the driver/passenger side? I've checked the local autostore and searched online but ended up at a deadend. So, if anyone knows where I, and everyone else, can get them please post here. Thanks

It's just something you won't see on a performance car because it will look out of place and ultra ghetto.

You used to see those in auto parts stores.

Put in a killer system and it'll drown out the sound.

I wouldn't mind a pair of those...JDM style ones aren't large at all and they look decent.

Again, the poster asked for help. Not your opinion. Still haven't got the clue, have you?

I had those. They came from New Zealand. I'll try to find the name. I gotta tell ya, they do not let any air in the car at all. I took them off after about a week.

British Victoria is now Black Dragon Auto. And, I just checked their website, they don't have them.

Yeah they have the sunroof wind guards, I checked the magazine that they sent me, but no sides.

Pretty much my 1st gen has a Silver/Black trim layout, in which I am still considering the fender flares that a fellow 1st gen member is producing. So all in all, I don't think this will look odd or even ghetto-fied.

If I can find a decent pair, that is either meant for the car or modified, I'll try and post a picture to give everyone an idea of this setup. But I am still looking for them so if anyone has any input, please contribute. Thanks

i saw these a while back. IIRC, theyre rather wide and i could see them greatly restricting air flow. my SA doesnt have AC so id love a functional set of these
