    From the picture they look store bought. Well done. Don't look at all jagged like you would expect from a free-handed cut.

    On a hot day, you can keep 2 windows down about 3/4 of an inch and no one can see there down.
    It will keep the interior cooler. But your right, if you don’t get any rain you may not need them.

    I used EGR slimline as a buddy had them on his 3rd gen. I wanted matte black which they have for 3rd but not 2nd. I plasti dipped them matte black which can be removed whenever.

    Not a ton of matte black options for 2nd gen in case your looking for them. There are some but I was not a fan of the look.

    I also have the EGR for the past 5 yrs. I don’t think I have ever closed my driver and passenger window completely since I put them on. My gray truck sits out in the sun all the time and they really help releasing the heat.
