Yup. Get some help if you can and you will have an easier time getting them aligned properly. See my post above for tips on ease of installation.
Good luck - it is much easier than it sounds.

Put the clips on the visor before starting anything. Then put strong masking tape on the 3M to pull it off later. The visors will come out much straighter if you do the clips first put the molding back in and then pull the tape off and press down. Pretty simple.

Super easy install!!! Just finished took about 30 minutes.

These are exactly like my ESAM visors for the xB (well actually ESAM makes these for Mugen).

Haven't driven anywhere yet, but Aesthetically they look awesome.

Wait... Can someone explain to me why the regular Honda JDM vent visors are $189 at aj-racing but the almighty genuine Mugen visors are $149 at king motorsports?

I thought real Mugen stuff was usually absurdly more expensive than the usual part. What's going on here?

Where did you order the kit? The only place we've been able to locate them is in Japan. And we don't speak or read Japanes. Can you tell me where you got your kit? Thanks

It doesn't matter where you order the MUGEN visors - they are all the same with the same Japanese instructions. (Different supplier - same product)
This thread however, details the instructions along with tips in English!
I got mine from King Motorsports and they advised me there were no English instructions. I searched the net but there were none there either.

You will have no problem with the instructions provided here.

I ordered mine and they should be here tomorrow. I'm so excited about getting them on the car. We ordered from King Motorsport like you said. Can't wait I'll let you know how it goes.

I don't think I want to be taking apart stuff on my 3 week old car just for a MUGEN visor.

My husband and I installed ours visors this morning and it took us an hour. What a great product. I love them. My husband pulled some instructions off the net in ENGLISH. and they went on with out a hitch. My husband pulled them down from then JDM web site. They worked out great. Hope this helps

this is for the Access visors, but may prove a bit helpful to have some visuals and a basic guide through it

I just put mine on. I think they're a little too low (the tape applied before I could get the clips fully in) but it's not a major deal. Still does its' job. What I did was peel down the weather stripping as it showed in the diagram booklet, wiped off the area with the supplied alcohol pad, put the clips/screws in, peeled off the tape, and basically eyeballed the hell out of where I wanted it to go and hoped for the best lol. I'll post pics later or tomorrow after carwash. Not a hard install at all, but I was confused about the tape. How the hell are you supposed to peel off the tape when the clips are attached and you can't even get TO the tape? That's why I peeled it all off before putting on the visors...

I installed mine last Sat. Best way to get to the tape is to just simply creese one edge over so it sits outside the visor, if you will, when installing. Kind of like a Mock-up. First clip it on completely, then simply peel tape away, being cautious not to rip the tape, exposing all tape, then press firmly. I took an extra precaution and put the tape through a heat cycle right after install before the wash. Just using a milwaukee heat gun. I have had no issues and don't plan on them either.

P.S. Use that little peice of foam on the visor as a guide to where it meets the door. That way it's a perfect FIT every time.
