3 brackets and screws? Can you elaborate?

Agreed. I wouldn't trust anything taped to the roof either Reminds me of a rake just flew out of a landscapers truck on the highway. Just barely missed my head (on the motorcycle).

Here's my Youtube clip w/ my old 07 G35 in Blue Slate and my current black 09. You can see my wind deflector on my 07 at the 1:50 mark and back when it returns. It's not bad looking IMO and IIRC it also was held down w/3 or four bolts w/ plenty of foam cushion (no drilling into the car or any tape holding it down). It's still on it now and it's been that way for about 6 years, no issues whatsoever.

It didn't really look out of place IMO and if you regularly drive around w/ it open then I'd consider it.
Sounds like my wife. She was adamant about getting a sunroof when she bought her car new. 3 years later and I have yet to see it opened once

I love riding with all windows and sunroof open. Honestly I could care less about the wind noise, just adds to the experience IMO.

It's a nay for me. I like having it open with my music blasting on the summer time

I think its worth getting a sunroof wind deflectors, not for its look for purely for its function. It make world of difference in your cabin with the sunroof open without the sunroof wind deflectors you'd have a lot of wind noise but with sunroof wind deflectors its get significantly quieter. I just got mine and don't regret it, i had it on my 02 maxima which kinda inspired me to get it for my G.

I don't think it looks too bad, especially if you use it a lot. I use the vent mode most often and only have it fully open if I'm riding around town. If you are good with the way it looks and it reduces the wind noise for you. It's all good. Especially if it's an easy remove if you don't like it.

Had one on my 240sx that I installed myself. OEM piece. 5 years later and the edge has vibrated/dug a nice deep gouge into the roof paint when I went to remove it.

IMHO, install it if you think it'd stay on for good.
