Side window deflectors

I've been thinking about getting these… would like to crack the windows open when it's raining. Are they totally dorky? Would I be shunned by the rotary community?

they have some for the 8 in JDM. They KINDA go with the car. Not my taste, but you might check with mazdaparts.com if you want them.

theyre alright for hot sunny days so you can crack your windows wider... and rainy days.. as long as you get the ones that snaps on its fine. dont get the one with the double sided stickers.

You'll look like an idiot, but then again if you live Washington where it rains 300 days a year it won't make any differance.

Personally I think they look a bit dorky - you see a lot of them on "retired peoples" cars. Besides, if you want ventilation when it rains just tilt the sunrooof and set the air vents to outside.

I've considered them for the hot days. We also are getting the afternoon rains EVERY afternoon now, so I cannot leave my windows cracked without them.

I've got 'em on my truck; the kind that fit inside the window channels, and they're great!

It's your car do what you want. If you like them than get them.
Just carry a bat with you to bash the hecklers with.

Geez, I've never seen so many useless comments about side window deflectors! Dude, get them if you want them and forget the opinions of others. Be true to yourself!!

I for one think they are better than letting rain drip down on the door controls panel and hey, they look okay. Just Do It!!!

Welcome to 2006.
They've been waiting for you for a very, very long time.

Glad you arrived.

Now, when you are feeling up to it, try coming back to 2011.

We should expect you in about 5 years, or there abouts?

BC.

That was me who started this thread when I was a small boy. I love my deflectors. Their quality is top-notch, though they do kinda make my 8 look like a Subaru SVX.
