Depends what you mean by wind noise.

Is there any "new" whistling, or flapping or otherwise... NO

As to just how much noise. I had the 4 windows craked down where they are recommended and LOVED the airflow through the car.. And was able to talk on phone (testing purposes ) which I definately would not have been able to do without the visors and the windows even slightly cracked.

Rain: if the person nex to you hits a really big puddle and the wave crashes over your car.. you can get wet. Otherwise, awesome performance.

I definately recommend King for these as they shipped mine very quickly.

There are some very good instructions for installed these in another post somewhere, but really I can recommend 3 things.

-Take your time (30-45 mins max to install even if you take it slow)
-CLEAN the surfaces first

ok I lied.. I couldn't think of another

What holds these onto the doors? Double sided tape? Screws?

ive had mine on for about 3 or 4 weeks now and during the rain it drips into the car and in the worse places, such as the little spot near the window buttons where i usually keep my phone. I installed correctly but am wondering why its leaking.... maybe the double sided tape didnt create a good enough seal? why would this be happening

it's double sided tape and clips.. I wouldn't personally install without the tape..

As for leaking.. freaky, I'm fortunately not having that problem.

Does anyone have any idea what the difference is? my guess would be that these ebay ones don't have the mugen logo engraved into the visor and that they only use tape and no clips?

not sure about exact differences, but I read that the generic ones will cause your windows to get off track and do some sorts of other damage.. just what I remember reading on RSXs.

Really? how is that possible? These window visors do not actually attach to the glass do they? I thought they sit on top of the door above the window?

if they stick to the window would they not allow you to roll you windows down all the way?

Yeah I'm not sure how they attach, so I could be completely wrong. I'm just passing along information I remember reading, but don't quote me.. sorry!

They are confusing to look at with the clips and all, but if you get everything in front of you and are looking at the windows, it becomes pretty apparent what to do. Just put your windows all the way down, look at the black rubber molding that is inside the window frame, if you give a little tug on the corners you'll be able to pull it out without a problem, put the little pegs inside the holes of the visors along with the clip and then just kinda toy around, took me about 30 minutes or so... but just keep in mind that the moment you take off the tape from the back of them, you dont want to touch it to anything or it'll stick and youll have to rip it off.

as mentioned above, that might be why some windows get off track. It looks like the peg goes into the window sliding area.. hmm interesting.

i just dont support the search feature too much since most of the times dont come up with what you want. Although, i know its not google

to help the guy out :
Mugen Ventilated Visors
Jdm Honda Visors
Zeta Products visor with "Fit" logo
are between the most common; there could be others though

Sup Ryan, it's me SmobbinSi from HT...Let me guess- you're gonna swap the K20 from the CRX to the Fit- can't wait to see the thread on this one!

Anyways- there are also some visors for a good deal on collegehillshonda.com, from down under- "A(ustralian)DM". Now that is rare to make it all the way here by boat!

Hey claymore you dont have to be a dick... Its not my fault the search function sucks. I love Thailand with a passion, but so far my impressions of you are not as good.


Whats up SmobbinSi good to see ya, nah, no k for this fit, a fit is a fun cruzer, not a race car

Thanks for the help (those who helped)

ok guys. group hug time..

between the forum search function and our tagging system, search still leaves much to be desired.

I wonder if implementing google search into the forum will help. For example, if I use Google to search FitFreak.net for "visor" with the following URL:

site:fitfreak.net visor - Google Search

Does google return results more relevant to the information you are looking for?
