how many would be interested in rain guard?

[silviaparts.com]

I have received many requests from people to look for the JDM S14 optional rainguards. However, they are just too rare and it's almost impossible to find them. Therefore, I was wondering how many people would be interested in them if we get them made.

I wasn't sure if people just wanted them because they are genuine JDM items, or if it's because they are functional and other companies don't make them for the S14. So I want to get some input before going into it. Thank you very much.

The price will probably be around $45 shipped.

It's the part that's on top of the window that covers it a little, so that you can open the windows a little when it's raining, or keep them opened in the summer and don't have to worry about rain getting in. Also, it's a lot more quiet when you are driving with a crack opened windows with the rain guards.

you can buy that easily at autobacs and such shops in japan. its like air freshners

i was told its VERY easy to find there its just a basic accessory
its very inexpensive i heard (non oem of course)

that's what i was TOLD and i was told by a EXTREMELY reputable souce.

How about making them for hatchbacks.
Then Ill get a set!!!

I think you (or anyone) should make rain guards that extend to the rear windshield, then became a little spoiler on top of the rear windshield... I think that'd look good. (seriously!) ... now if only I had the photoshop skills required to make such a chop... :p

^^^^^
adey...


ricer! hahahah
i want to see pics of your driverside door! i hope the project went well sat/sun morning!!! :)


cant wai tto see it

yeah it would look good as you said. but..um..sorta nonfuctional? bah whatever. :)

Ive seen em on ebay for s13 coups, make em for hatchs id tame one set

[twitchy]

can you have those on S13 too?

[Dousan_PG]

yes they do. it was factory option in Japan
ive seen 180sx and silvias here in the USA that have them. they are nice. dorifto almost got a set but when we found out we can get oem replacement (aftermarket) types from japan, doing that instead. much cheaper then a 10 year old one that has been in the sun for 10 years heh..

[crioten]

what kind of wheels are on that s14? i know they are painted, but cant tell from the angle, they look nice...

[Dousan_PG]

R32 gtr maybe..look a lot like R32, not sure what trim

[brianglawson]

no offense to the people that want em, but damn, that really messes up the lines of the cr when you look at it head on. i live in western virginia(NOT WEST VIRGINIA) and they are all over the place, they make your car look like it would fly a way if it had just a little more extension, but just my .02

[twitchy]

i asked the dealer here cause I want some and they said you cant do it cause theres no frame around the door to put them on and youd have to make sure the windows are rolled down a bit when you close the door. Does anyone have any other pics of how they look or install?? I cant quite picture it but I definitely want some

[jstyle180]

here's a pic of them

[jstyle180]

Here's a front shot of a 180sx w/rainguards

Cant really tell they're on.

[Dousan_PG]

it sits in teh little 'ridge' above the door
go look at your door area. the black strip above /around front to top of door has a small 'slit' it goes in there and get 2x taped on too. hard to explain. when u see it you think 'AHHH!!!'

[jstyle180]

angle

[brianglawson]

one the shot of it head on, you are to close to it to see it, that area of the car is not in your vision path becasue the a pillars get in most of the way......

[SilviaDriver]

those are for people who want to crack their window in rainy season to smoke.

i think it would be good for me. [doh gotta quit]

yea id be interested.

will it look exactly like the OEM one?

u also have PM

[brianglawson]

smoking, oh how bad it is, i used the red tic-tacs to quit....lol

this is what smoking does to your lungs..:axe:

If someone could provide me with detailed pictures of them, I would probably get them to be pretty close to OEM ones.

I'm game, I just dont want the huge ones that some people put on thier cars. some are a 1/4 the size of thier windows. If they are the same size as the the ones in the pic I wouold buy a pair the day they are ready.

Yes, I've seen some on Astros (van) which were about 5 iches out. horrible...


I think the key is to make them as low profile as possible (to stay within the style lines and make it look stealthy) but to also make it functional.
