Vent Visors
I am thinking about getting those vent shades that stick to the door and go all the way down over the wing windows. But I am afraid they WILL look stupid?

i dont know how them smoke plastic ones will look , especially with the dumbo mirrors, but ive seen and do love the look of the original chrome ones that had a couple small screws into em . to me our trucks should have alot of chrome on em tho

I agree the small chrome ones are the way to go. I have them on mine and work great. The plastic ones aren't as good looking on our trucks compared tto the 88+ models.

I've got a set of the smoke plastic ones too, but haven't put them on yet. If you paint them to match your exterior paint they actually look good. Plus you can crack your windows if it's raining and it won't get in. There's a few guys here that have them on their trucks and they look WAY better if they're painted to match.

I have the stainless ones that cover the top of the windows.
I personally don't like any plastic on my truck. |

I never cared for any of them personally. Then I bought my 77 and the chrome ones were already on it. Now I am used to the way they look, and love em.
I have to agree with the crowd here. I don't think the plastic ones would look good at all....

i got a set of the smoke ones (white truck) and i thought they would look cool, the first couple of days i didn't like the look as much as i thought i would, now it's grown on me a lot. the results are great though. less wind noise and nice deflection. i can ride with the windows down and i don't have to crank the stereo to hear it.
