Hi Blade!
So they just came with the car when I bought it. I left them on because they really help keep you dry when its raining. I'm sorry, I don't know where to get them. :cry:

Thanks for the compliments. I thought black would be easiest because it matches the interior. The windows were already tinted. I had to do something because the car was pretty butt-ugly. :wink:

Check JCWhitney on the window thinga-ma-bobs...I had those on an Escort...they work real well to drive with the windows open even in the rain...real quiet...except you don't get the breeze blowing through.

I've been wanting those window rain deflectors too. I looked at JC Whitney but couldn't find them.

My guess they were available 'in the day', but not now, not much demand now.

Any other ideas to look for them?

I sooo want those Side Window Deflectors.

www.weathertech.com makes them for current models. I wonder if they can make some for us. Might be worth a call.

I think she had it professionally painted.

Nice looking wheels. I'm told that you have to sand them down before you spray paint them in order to get the paint to stick. Did you do that? If not, do you notice any paint peeling off yet?
