i think they look kinda cool...the driver and passenger window rain guards......i just looked thru about 250 japanese FC's and about 90% of them had 'em. i'm guessing its prob just something they can pick up at the local auto store like we could here for a chevy S10 or something...anyone know where you could order them?

actually they are so you can wind your window down a bit when its raining and you dont get water into the car, it helps prevent fogging up the winscreen and other windows. they are called monsoon sheilds, on cars which are known for giving you "monsoon" ie: when it has been raiing and a lot of water is sitting on your roof you stop suddenly and all the water rushes fowards giving you a monsoon downpour thru ya window - they prevent that too

I'd love a pair considering I hate having my windows up and it's cold out now. Hell, if I'm on the highway I'll open my sunroof in a mild shower just because I like having it open and if you're going at a high rate of speeds water won't come in.

Actually, I have wanted a set ever since I owned my rex, but always thought they looked tacky. The set on that red 7 look great. They blend very well with the window. I'd put a set like that on my car. I would NOT put the Ventshade brand, as this stick out WAY too much. I'd want them for that same reason though. I usually have to crack my windows and/or sunroof to prevent fogging, and I always get rain in the car. Those would be great. Ricey or not, I'd put that set on the red FC on my car in a second.

The ones on the first car look nice cause they don't stick all out. My car had a bullshit Ventshade sunroof deflector that I broke in about 50 pieces trying to get off the car....
