I was looking at these, but it boggled my mind at how the visibility could be out of them. Does anyone have trouble with these or are they no-ag. Thanx

I don't have them for exactly that reason. It's difficult enough for me to see out of the factory windows without covering them up. The Saleen covers don't block much vision but the rest do. Besides, I like the original look. Remember the first Shelbys? They had windows like the 05 and 06 factory versions. Scoops came later.

I picked up the Gen 1 set at the link below.
Even had them painted there, so I could just slap them on when they arrived.
No issue with visibility.
The angle my view is at when I crane my neck allows me to see through the no problem.

I take issue with the statement "if you know how to drive." I do know how and I use my mirrors. I must park in spaces that require you to pull in and back out. (Typical Wal-Mart type set-up.) There have been many times that I would have been run over by approaching cars if I only relied on my mirrors. The covers that are slotted to permit some vision might be OK but complete covers are out in my book. Again, the original and new Shelbys didn't have covers. Even Saleen doesn't completey cover the windows. Just because we prefer something one way is no reason to say "if you know how to drive."

Mirrors don't cover your blind spots. Knowing how to drive is checking those blind spots.

Mirrors don't let you see cars approaching from the side.
