    They are posted again and I highly recommend them. I had WeatherTechs on my 2005 Prius and Just got these Friday for my 2010, installed over the weekend and love them. Last item at the HIC store now, although it may change.

    Just ordered mine yesterday. I can't wait to get them. To answer your question, yes they significantly reduce wind noise when your window is cracked.

    Thinking about ordering a set of these but shipping is 18 dollars haha. Brings the total to almost 50 bucks. But considering its way cheaper than the ones from Sigma, I think its still worth it. Any more feedback from those who have these on. Looking for some feedback after some months use.

    I had it on for about 2 month.
    Its great. I love it.
    It has HIC its logo sticker on it which also makes it look non-plain and more stylish.

    Hm fair enough. I'll probably order them tonight since my Prius III is suppose to be delivered tomorrow or Sat and I should have these by next week.

    Edit: Damn I set the item to watched last night and it had 26 days left on the auction and I just went to order them right now and the listing is done and I couldn't find any more of his 2010 prius listings. All I can find are the AVS ones.

    Am I correct that this is only some plastic that goes over the front windows??? Does it help running your car with windows down - or is it strictly for looks???

    Just curious - have now decided that running the III in 'Auto' temperature setting works perfectly...

    ^^ It helps smooth out the air with the windows down so it doesn't blow inside the car as much.

    I found the listing under a different item number so I ordered it. He raised the price to 29.95 + 18 dollars shipping so it came out to 50 bucks after everything was said and done. Hope they come in soon as I'm hopefully picking up my car tomorrow.

    Thanks for the pics. What did you use to darken the rear lights?

    There's road noise, I don't think there's any significant wind noise. I like that I can get some air in, helps keep the windows from fogging up wen ti's damp out, too.

    So I installed these last night even though I ended up with the solar roof. Fitment was alright I suppose for the price. It could of been better. I also got my windows tinted yesterday so I haven't been able to roll down my windows to test them out. I'm sure they work as advertised though since there's not much that can go wrong in the design of them. Overall, great alternative to the expensive OEM (JDM) ones. Plus they look great haha

    Got mine today and just installed them. I like the look, it's very subtle.

    They now have a website HIC USA -

    I'll update when I get to test the wind noise, but my main reason was so I could vent my car at work without watching the weather.
