Sun roof wind deflector.

Hey all! Was poking around United BMW's online store just now and saw this:

Link to the product page

I've always thought sunroof deflectors make small cars look sporty! But there's no way I'd buy such a large cosmetic part without seeing what it looks like on the car first.

Anyone have one of these installed? Or, can you point us to more pictures of this accessory actually installed? How does this unit get installed?

Thanks!

Noooooo!!!!!! IMO it looks terrible!

(Btw I dont think sunroof in general has anything with sport to do either, ever seen a real racing car with it? Comfort YES, Sport NOO so maybe I shouldnt say anything.

)

My current Altima had one when I bought it a couple years ago. It looked similar to that one.

The first thing I did when I brought the car home is yank that ugly thing off. It totally messed up the lines of the car. I know an Altima isn't a 1er but I still think it would have the same effect on the car...Just my honest opinion.

Functionality over fashion...

This thing will work really well. With the roof open going around 60, it's
like a tornado in the cabin.

I opt for fashion and not getting this.
