window scoop/louver question

Does anyone have a picture from the inside of the car of the side windows after they have installed a piece over them?

I am interested in adding on a scoop or louver but was wondering how it looks from the inside. Do you have to look at a bunch of adhesive or is it pretty clean? I am really unfamiliar with how these attach so the question may not be relevant.

Also, has anyone had problems with the lack of visibility or blind spot created by covering those windows?

Scott, my recommendation is to visit this thread http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=39193

and wait until they are released. Direct replacement for the window glass. The manufacturer is a forum member who's products have received rave reviews for quality. Check it out.

I have seen that thread. Those look pretty cool. I still would like to hear anyones opinion on visibility problems having those windows gone.

Here is a PICTURE of mine from the inside. The only thing you can see is the reflection of the inside of the car.
I had my windows tinted prior to the install with 15% Tint.
With scoops you cannot see out the windows, and you notice it at first. After you have them awhile you learn to adjust for not having the window there.

My windows were tinted prior to putting mine on but I still had them paint the underside black. You really can't see anything through the window though. As far as visibility, I never really could see much out of those windows so now I just use my mirrors a little differently.

Wow - that's the same as just putting sheetmetal there.

Now that I see that, I don't feel so bad that ours will have reduced visibility compared to the OEM glass - I wanted it that way because I have to drive my 73 which has two giant blind spots in back (I know, what's behind you doesn't matter, but it can....)
