Question WeatherTech window deflector pics?

So I just got a 2012 Phantom Black Pearl Evo X MR and I was thinking of buying the WeatherTech window deflectors because they are the kind that slide into the window channel and do not stick to the paint.
Anyone have any pics of WeatherTech deflectors installed on the Evo X?

Nevermind, I found a couple, thanks guys.
Anyone have any luck with these installed and having tint because the guy installing my tint says the in-channel widow deflectors scratch the tint.

Same as what I was thinking. The deflectors should not come close to the tint since it is on the other side of the glass.
The only thing I can think of is if the deflector's thickness caused the glass to "smash" the tint on the other side because it made the channel tighter.
Thoughts?

even if it does do that, normally there is a strip around the window that has no tint for this reason, to prevent peeling and so on.

in my opinion they look better. serve the same purpose of course. since the weather tech ones sit inside of the window track, they have more of a sleeker profile to them compared to the oem ones. here are the weather techs on my car.:



meh....couldn't find a better picture at the moment. sorry.
