Has anyone installed these? They have the chrome to match the trim. I usually put these on all my cars, but not the seamless ones.

My brother has them on an m35x and they look really good

I helped my
Friend install his on his 09 maxima Dark grey car so they looked good

I was looking at those too. I prefer the in-channel ones (they go inside the window channel versus stuck on the outside) but they don't make them for the Max.

Any pics of what they look like installed?

I believe that Lightonthehill has been running something like this for years. Hopefully, he will chime in on the efficacy of his installation and perhaps, we may find out that it is this kit!

Looks really nice.. Like to see how the maxima one looks like...

Thanks for posting a pic. I will be ordering them soon.

Thanks for the pics, Slava. I'll pass though. It would have been better if they made the "chrome" trim the same width as the car's and tapered the back end instead of having a distinct "bump".

Oh well, guess I'll just go without.

Looks much better than the regular window visors I have on mine.

Yes, I have put Ventshades on each of my Maximas for the last twenty years or so, because I can't leave my car parked in the brutal
deep south sun in summertime with the windows all closed. If I crack the windows, we invariably have high winds and sideways rain
and the interior gets soaked. With the shades, I can leave all four windows cracked around three inches.

This is the first of a four or five day stretch where we are supposed to have dark, rainy days, so I won't be taking any pics. We drive
one of the trucks and leave the Maxima in the garage when the weather is bad.

I did not get the Ventshades with the chrome strip. I got the plain smoked ones. They stick out a tad more (hence give more
ventilation) than those shown in the photos above, which seem to stay very close to the glass. I think the shades in the above
photos are a newer style, and an attempt by the Ventshade folks to reduce the wind noise. I experimented for around a month
before I found a combination of molding strips placed on the lower part of the side of the 'A' pillars that seemed to reduce the wind
noise to an acceptable level on my older style shades.

I have not seen any shades for the Maxima which fit into window channels. I think the tighter fit of the glass into the window channels
of cars these days makes it difficult to use the channel-style shades.

I installed my Ventshades three years ago, and have not had any problems with them since. If you visualize the shades in the above
photos with flat smoked plastic where the chrome hump thingie runs, you will have a very good idea of how they look. Once they are on,
I usually never even notice them again.

Light, how did you stick your visors on? my visors create a lot of wind noise. i've gotten use to it but still annoying at times.

lightonthehill

I just stuck them on per the instructions that came with them, using the double-sided adhesive tape that was already
attached to the vent pieces.

And, as I mentioned in an earlier post above - -

Through my experiments, I found that sticking a piece of half inch wide hard rubber trim molding on the SIDE of the car on/beside the
bottom foot of the windshield trim results in the air flow taking a slightly wider path around the car, hence not hitting the vent shades
quite as directly.

I just kept trying various pieces of molding I had laying around my garage until the wind noise was not quite so loud.

Just installed mine tonight.

I just noticed that the front one is a bit off, damn. Going to have to redo it when it gets warm out.
