Question Ventshade ?

Does anyone have these on their trucks;

http://www.ventshade.com/avs_truck_p...r___truck.aspx

I wouldn't put them on mine because I'm going the SHAVED look, But was thinking about a set for my Jeep.

IF,
They stay on with that 3M tape ?
And cut some of the wind noise when driving with the window down about 3/4" ?

I hate to spend $60/70 if they do neither.

Thanks Guys !

Re: Ventshade ?

Yes on both accounts. Clean the mounting area on your truck with alcohol or something similar, and they will stay on forever. They work very well if you drive with the windows cracked.

Re: Ventshade ?

they stick on with double sided 3m tape. (just clean it well before install)

And for noise id say they do a nice job at cutting wind noise.

This is my experance on a 98 chevy z71

Re: Ventshade ?

Personally I prefer the SS ones you can get for our trucks...match the mirrors nicely

They look like OE equipment, fit great, and look old school....and never rust

I don't have any pics of them, but alot of members on here have them

I paid $65 canadian for a pair at Van and truck world in Guelph, Ontario

Re: Ventshade ?

Thanks for the replies guys. I've had the s/s ones before, I think I'll try the Euro style smoked ones this time. They look sportier, After all my Jeep is the "Sport" model.
