Instructions are on the box.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/PerthPurplePenguin/car%20parts/Air%20Deflector%20Fins/P1010170.jpg

They come in 2 pieces which butt together , vertical join is in the middle.
During Instal you ensure the 2 pieces are butted together to leave no vertical gap in the centre of the window.
You then even out the gap so that on each side of the diffuser where it meets the edge of the window you have approx 2mm gap on each side of the car.

Bump for a great price. I was just about to order an S.S. induction air deflector fin yesterday from an Ebay Australia vendor and they wanted $154 U.S. plus $91-$137 shipped. I will be ordering mine this week.

Minor hijack....

Does this car really say Turbo on the deck lid? If so, is it really a turbo car?

THIS CAR IS BEYOND TURBO! It has twin turbos and a whole host of other stuff on it. There's a thread on it here somewhere.

I think I may get this... I'd probably have it shot in Panther black as well. The plastic looks a bit bland IMO.

A wise choice my feathered friend.
Smooth maybe slightly less painful as it's removed from your cloaca.

True. The sharp edges worry me a bit, but but I have a jumbo tube of soothing, cooling ass-cream that I have had to use much more often than I like to think about! :p

Do these really do anything that significant?

Most people seem to be interested in the look and uniqueness factor. The advertising does talk about benefits of improving rear visibilty in wet weather and reducing dust build-up in the dry. Those could easily be observed.

Penguin should receive his in about a week and we also have Dave in that area with one already. So WA state can report back on the wet weather testing.
The next couple to go out this week will be to NV & VA so I'd guess NV can do the dust testing and report back.

I sure will do the dust testing here in NV when I receive it, might not be until summer. Since it's our monsoon season here I'll do some water testing of my own.

I am looking forward to hearing the testing results. I think the look is neat, but will likely only consider getting one if there is an additional benefit I can sell my wife on (the CFO!!)... :)

Well seeing as this is not a PONTIAC (even though the name is on the front of it) you may be safe.

Just put on a set of Vortekz. Bought 'em from Amazon for $19.99. More info in my posts above.

If I put Rain-X on the rear window the water will blow off now. The vortex generators prevent air flow separation from the glass reducing drag in the process.
