Question Scott Drake quarter window block off plates- want opinions

So I saw these on a couple of cars and liked them a lot. They came in today and I kinda test fit one to see what I thought. I have to say I'm really on the fence; Can't tell if I'm diggin' it or not. Not sure if it 'fits'. One of them came in scratched up pretty good, do if I do decide to keep them I'll have to go through the act of sending them back etc. So I wanna be sure before I go through all that. Anyway, what do you guys think?? Not the best pics, but you get the idea






Here's the one that was scratched up

Yeah, saw them on another black car and really liked them. On my car, I'm not really getting the same feeling...I'm thinking if I don't love 'em, I could probably find something more worthwhile to put $100 toward.

I think if you painted the silver pieces black it would make your car look slick!

The Shelby display at the Detroit - North American International Auto Show had window plates on some of the models. They didn't have rivets like 09cs suggested




I think it looks better without the rivets

I would agree, no rivets or at least black rivets.

I'm not really a fan - it's a different finish, different color, different reflection, the rivets don't match anything else on the car .. kind of just an eye sore to me!

Looks much cleaner with-out the rivets. But I'm still not a fan of those
