Stuck on the AVS "original" window deflectors. I need to take pics from inside but I'm happy with how they look. It's just knock-off 3M tape, so I hope they don't blow off on the highway! =D

The "original" are the older design ones that stick out the most and I hope that means it'll actually make a difference for inside temps (and keeping my stoopid tree sap out of the interior).

I''ll report back about wind noise and turbulence once I do some highway driving.

The tape's applied a bit sloppy and some is visible on the back part. But it's plenty good for Soupie. =)

Finished up the racks, ready to go get my canoe!
Post a pick with your canoe on if you don't mind. I have been debating whether a bed rack or roof rack is a better way to go for a 16ft canoe. In my mind, 16ft canoe on a 5ft bed leaves a whole lot of overhang. Interested to see your setup.

Did you do the install yourself? Mine are still in the box. Trying to decide if I'm up for it or go find a shop to do it.

Also, how do you like them? I'm assuming there's a noticeable difference at night.

Installed myself it was super straight forward maybe 1.5 hours including washing them. Here is a good YouTube video showing the take down. I haven’t had a chance to use at night yet.

That's probably the best video on removing the headlights with really good explanation along the way.

Did you wire in the DRL?

I did super easy, used a ground by the driver side headlight, added fuse to spot 24 and notched the fuse panel to not crimp the wire to much. Pretty straight forward.

If you were my buddy, and you called me "vertically challenged", Just know I'd bust your nose.
Calling a short person a midget is less offensive than calling them "vertically challenged' lmao.



I'm 5'10 so take that as you will.
