Driving impressions:

Cuts the wind down by a hell of a lot.

Not really noisey.

Haven't encountered any whistling yet.

I like them.

Are those scratches where the rivet gun slipped after the rivet popped, if so, they look just like mine.:D They do help alot on cutting down wind noise though. Good job. :cheers: :cheers:

Mojo,
I had the same exact "mismatch" between my driver's and passenger side deflectors. The Pass side is just a bit farther forward and I couldn't figure out why.. I'llpost some pics toomorrow if I can get them uploaded!

Good Job!! I like mine too, much less wind noise. Except now I hear all of the other littel problems.... :)

Rex Ruby had his painted when he got his car painted. I like the look of the black, it goes nicely with the Red/Black theme I got going(just don't look at the exhaust!)

BTW, these are the genuine GM parts, not the Mid America ones.

They were $42 for the pair! :eek:

I don't think they'd look bad with the white... just look like a piece of trim. I'm thinking about doing them, I'd leave em black

I haven't had the top off in my car in a very long time, but with the windows down, top on, they make a huge difference.

Hi,

I believe the GM part numbers are:

#10077387 - Deflector, LH $22.00 List
#10077388 - Deflector, RH $22.00 List

I do not believe they include pop rivets which are listed as a sperate part
on the "exploded view"

I had mine installed 2 winters ago. All last summer I never used my vent hatch. They really cut down in the turbulence. One of the best mods to do.
