Thinking about getting one of those solarwings. What do guys think of them? And if anyone has pics it on a car, preferably on a white car.

 

Here is a shot of the solar wing II on my car. Some people like it and some don't. It is not just for looks it serves a purpose. It keeps the sun off your back.

 

Heres a pic

 

It looks cool if you also have headlight covers.

 

<---what he said

i say don't get it-your car looks great-if you got it, i think it would be a distraction-thats my opinion

 

G-h-e-t-t-o.

 

Definatley not... not only does it not look good, but it really serves no purpose. IMO that is...

Accually if you have your windows tinteda nd the tint doesnt really attatch to the black dots on top of the window it covers it up.

 

Hey Jawz, you wouldn't happen to have a pic from the rear? Thanks guys for the comments and pics.

 

i dont have one now but I could take one tomorrow.

 

Hey what part of MN are you from? You don't have to go through all the trouble of getting a pic, unless you want to.

 

About 15 min. northwest of minneapolis. Were is Ivanhoe.

Pic shouldn't be a prob, Its a digital camera, just take pic and upload to computer.

 

I Don't think it looks bad.

 

Straight west of Marshall. Or on highway 19+75 junction in SW MN.

 

pic from the back, only bad thing - it starts to sag in the center.

 

Thanks. Does it interfere with the third brake light? DId it sag right away or did you have it on there a while? thanks again.

 

I think they look ridiculous. Rod, aren't you selling your car anyway?

 

Yeah its forsale. And yes the price is on the rise everytime I install something. The car is 80% restored, and I really want it to be 100%, so I'll just keep restoring it until it sells. I'll sell it right now for $7,000. And if I put everything that I had planned to Id sell it for around $11,000. Right now I have over $15,000 invested. Which I know I won't see.

 

i'm not against the idea in anyway, if you like it go for it........personally, i wouldn't put it on my car, i think it detracts from the overall look. but it's just my opinion.

as far as covering up the tint that's pealing, why not just get a good tint job? i wouldn't put the solar wing on unless you like it.....i think louvers look much better than that and i'm sure most of you know how people feel about those.

I do have a good tint job, I've just noticed a lot of people on the board bitching about how their tint looks on the top. It doesn't cover up any part of the 3rd brake light, And it is made out of the same plastic as taillight covers so you can see the red through anyway. I've had it for a year when it started to sag. Hope that answers all the questions.

 

i like them...especially on black cars ill probably get one for my car soon right now i have blackouts and 20% tint and ive seen those on alot of mustangs and i like it. i need new rims before anything tho..still stuck between polished irocs or 16x8 american racing torque thrust

 

wheels---

i just got my chrome 17x9.5 ZR1 wheels.

 

what is the real purpose of those things?extra weight?to make your car look fast standing still?
RODS92Z you have a fine looking ride there.

 

Umm, I guess it's a part you either love or hate. Personally, I think it looks like poopie, kinda like rear louvers. But it's your car, so personalize it and have fun.

I'm feelin' sick. That looks U-GLEEE

 

well, I had one on my car and I liked it until it flew off at about 75 mph... hahaha, made a heII of a noise too.

when it flew off I mean

 

I think I'm going to pass on that one. Especially if theres a chance of it flying off. That would be $90 thrown in to the wind. How about some nice dark tint? thanks for the comments and pics.

 

You have a nice clean car but thats not for me. If everybody liked the same things the world would be boring.

 

Paint it white and see how it would look. Maybe it would match better. Or photoshop a pic like that someone

 

If you could get it clear and paint it the color of your car on the back side, and it didn't sag, then maybe.

 

those things are 90bucks? damn i didnt think they would cost more than the blackouts...i need something up there because the dumbass's that did my tint couldnt get the tint to stay on the top part...thinking about going somewhere else and getting just the hatch done but i dont know..

 

I donr think they come in clear.

 

Doesn't look to bad, but personally I don't like it and wouldn't do it to my car. BUt like they said, it's your car you'll have to decide. I would take the 90 bucks it cost and buy headlight and tail light covers instead.

 

I already have blackouts. I thnk I'll take the car in and have the windows dipped, instead of trying to tint them myself.

 

I wouldnt put one on my car though I dont think it looks all that bad. I cant keep the sun off my back with my t-tops so I'm screwed. It wouldnt serve much use to me, I'll just burn up anyway Tell you what... ask a whole lot of chicks and see what they say. If they say it would look good who cares what the guys say! I would rather impress the chicks

 

I hate all headlight covers, taillight covers and especially that thing
