I'm not sure what the type of vehicle has to do with it. I've seen them on plenty of sedans and they look just fine.

I have had them on every other vehicle I have owned except for this one. They just did not look right. But please...whatever you do...get the "in channel" version and not the ones that stick on the outside of the doorframe.

thanks for the link and the english lesson. Maybe, I used mauling because I was being overly aggressive in my thought process.

I'm going to get my windows tinted on monday, and I plan on getting the weather tech rain guards that go in the window channel, and they will be the dark tint ones. I agree, they are "normal" on a truck, but i try and have the windows open as much as possible. My buddy has them, and I just like the functionality. Being dark tinted, they will probably be almost unnoticeable.
