Ventivisor on 2004 Corolla S

Hey Everyone im new to the boards. I have a 2004 Toyota Corolla S. Its Super White with 15% tint all around and the stock rims painted Metallic Gunmetal Gray. I just bought Ventivisors- the things that go over the windows so that you can roll em down in the rain.I was wondering if anyone else had them on this car and how they looked. I didnt put them on yet because i think it might make the car look cheap and plastic looking.

This is a Pic of my Car before i got the Front windows Tinted. Sorry for the size and quality

I got some of the Weather Tech visors, and they look GREAT! The vent visors stick out a little bit too much for my liking, so I would recommend exchanging them for the dark tint WeatherTechs. I have a white 06 that looks very similar to yours, so I will post some pics later with the WeatherTech visors.

Also, to me the stick on visors look cheap, but the ones you insert between the window and rubber look great. That is just my opinion.

I have them too, but i suspect they contributed to my windows rattling when they are 1/4 way down.

thats exactly what i thought that they would stick out to much and make a "boxy" effect. Where can i buy the weather tech ones that don't just stick on?

weathertech.com if you want to order them directly. I paid $109 shipped, and LOVE them! I think you can google them and find them for a little bit less, but those companies rip you off with shipping... I am thinking about buying some of their other products as well like the bug and stone deflector and rear cargo lining. I got to get the cash first though... Anyway, that is a GREAT site for car protection accessories.

Also, if you order from weathertech.com, the default is the same tint as the stock windows, so if you aren't looking for them, nobody will know they are there. If you have tinted windows, I would call them and request the darker tinted ones to keep them "hidden."


One last thing... In order to keep them from rattling, be sure to clean the inside of the window seals.

Ok. Thanks man! I was thinking of getting the front bug defelctor to, i thought it might look tough. I'm also trying to get a grill for it and im undecided on the Ebay Grill or one from some site called depoautolights.com or something like that. One is 30 and one is 100. Any knowledge on grill quality?

I don't know much about grills, but there is a guide on here about making your own. If I were you, I would do that. You should be able to search for "replace car stereo" or something like that. I also made a posthere yesterday asking about the stone deflector. It seems that they do the job well, but They won't let the hood seal sit completely. This allows for more dirt and trash to get into your engine housing. I still plan to get one, but maybe find a friend who has a set. I was recently slammed by a rock that dented my hood and scratched it pretty badly. I got some touch up paint, bit I would like to keep it from happening again. Anyway, I hope this was helpful to you. If I get one, I will post some pics. I tried to take some pics of the visors, but my phones camera is terrible. I'll try to get a good camera and take some pics.

love the link of making your own grill however, i wanted to know what is the exact name of the part is it a grill ring ? They had some on ebay i was looking at that had already been assembled but i would rather make my own.

If anyone knows the name of the part hit me up thanks in advanced

I think it is grill trim i tried looking for it on ebay and yahoo however i came up empty handed if anything i can search the local scrap yard to see if i can pick one up however what car do they come off of?

I have a 2003 corolla S however it does not have this trim piece on it.
