Default I like them.

I was looking inside there today and wondered why they couldn't be homemade. Someone will offer a spear soon too.

Jennifer, The easiest way is to remove the wheel, Pop out the plastic plugs on the inner fender with a screwdriver, remove 2) 10 mm bolts and 1) 7mm bolt. The bolts are on bottom of inner fender. Inside the fender is a black plastic baffel in front of the vent that is double stick taped to the inside of the fender. Pop it off where the double stick tape is. Then you have easy access to put the screens in. I also used a wooden paint stirrer cut into 1/2 inch strips with double stick tape for added support(to hold them in place). If you have any questions shoot me a e mail. Good Luck, Joel

Original I wasn't going to add those but on the forum when they had the picture of the red convertible strips etc the screens looked great in my opinion.
