Can't decide if I should put vent visors and a hood deflector on or leave it clean..? Black Lariat Screw.

Advantages/Disadvantages, etc.

Thoughts...

Thanks

Personally I like them (smoked or paint matched, not chrome). Window ones allow vented windows in rain or when sitting in hot sun. never know when a t-storm might blow through in summer. The hood one protects the paint from chips and bugs, but is probably more optional in my view.

I have both and feel I spent my money wisely. I also like the styling. I just wish I bought the in-channel vents, I like that look a little more

Hood deflector...ehh not for me

Vent visors...YES. As Tooldad said, great to leave all 4 windows cracked on warm days or in a rain storm. Get smoked, and get in-channel. Much cleaner look.

I have the window vent visors on my truck and I really like them. I went with the ones that are in channel so that I can remove them with NO damage to the paint or body of the truck. Always a plus.

I have vent visors on all four windows and a hood deflector. All five pieces are color matched and blend in nicely with the truck to retain its clean looks.

Thanks.

I just think they look better on some trucks than others... I'm a little gun shy of the in channels from what I have heard of the window problems. Wish I could see a picture of my truck with and without them...

Any black lariat screws out there with before and after pictures?

I've got a black one. Not quite your style, but it's at least black and may give you an idea. I love my window visors. Makes me feel much safer cracking my windows in the summer and it's nice to have a little more sun blocking from them as well. Check out my album for pictures as well.

I've got a black FX4. I had my vent visors painted black to match. I prefer it over stock smoked or chrome. I chose not to put a bug shield on this truck though. I like the lines of the truck without it. To each his own though.

Editted to add pics.

Black on Black with 20% tint behind them so I guess black on black on black.
