Does anybody know if there is a company that makes the ventshades for the Rd2? I have looked on Auto VentShades's website and they don't sell them. I am hoping to find them because I had them on my Grand AM and its nice to be able to leave your windows open a bit when its raining and not have to worry about water getting in.

I don't think I've seen one tiburon with them... so most likely the answer is no.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. I just wanted to make sure before I decided it was a lost cause.

Both of us might be wrong, so just wait and maybe someone will reply with good news. I think those things make the car look ugly. Although, they are helpful in rain.

Looks like they make them for every Hyundai .. except the RD tib (lol). They're out for all the Elantras, and the Tuscon though.

i think it mainly cuz of they way out windows are designed. There is no frame to really hold it there. I have had them on every truck but i think they would look yuck on the tib. Sorta outta place really!

yeah, I hate how when you turn your wipers on and have the window open the tiniest bit the rain just drip in on your window controls and arm. Or better yet, just when you turn the vehicle and there's water on top....annoying

BUt way worth the nasty comments you would get for putting rain gaurds on your sporty tib. I considered the option when i first bought the car but didn't even look for them as I new the annoyance was 1000x less than the UGLIENESS factor of those things
