It's all personal opinion, but you did ask. No, they do not look cool....on any vehicle.

I think I agree. Like to see if anyone has pics that might give me idea of the look

Looks are certainly subjective but they are one of the most functional accessories out there.

I've always wondered if they'd cause wind noise.

I accidentally had them on one truck. I bought an Excursion used and they were already installed. I remember not really having an opinion on them at the time but they kind of grew on me. And they do work really well. Crack the windows in the morning and you don't have to worry about rain. Best thing to keep the cabin cool in the summer. One of them eventually broke and I ended up just not putting anything back on. Look cool? No, but that's subjective. Work cool? Big yes.

The low profile ones in the dark smoke are what i have downstairs waiting for my white Platinum to show up any day. If you give me till the end of the week I will hopefully have pictures for you. My F150 had them on when I bought it, they are the bigger ones that I don't really care for anymore but they work great for keeping the truck cool inside.

I don't think folks buy them to look cool, they are functional.
+1 for the AVS low profile.

If you smoke they are a necessity unless you want a wet left arm and rain your face.

I have the AVS low profile ones. I think they look good/ sleek and they are very functional. Clearly the looks thing is just personal preference.
