I just installed mine this past weekend and took some pictures. I'll upload them Wednesday sometime. I'll try to scan the instructions. I had my co-worker who is Japanese write some translations for some things. So it made it a little easier to understand. It's an intuitive installation though. Not too difficult. It took me about an hour to do it all.

Here are some pictures I took. I'll post up the partially translated instructions later tomorrow.


The box of clips with the pins to hold the clip onto the visor.


One clip attached to the visor.


Masking tape applied onto the back of the adhesive strips. This helps in the removal of the tape.


The packet of a towelette soaked in toluene. This helps promote the adhesion of the tape onto the surface you wipe with the toluene after you clean the area with isopropyl alcohol.


Here are two pictures of the window lining pulled down to expose the sill to enable you to push the clips onto the window sill.


Once you position the visor on then you need to push the window lining back into place. This will help hold the visor in place before you remove the tape and allow you to maintain the position of the visor on the door.

It was noted in the instructions that you wanted the visor 2mm below the top edge of the door. The instructions that I'll scan later show this.

And here are some pictures of the final look. I need to tint my windows still.

When you remove the lining, you will see that there is an edge for the clip to snap onto. Then when you push the lining back into place it will cover the clip and still allow the window to go back up without any problems. Just be careful when you remove your lining. It is a little tough to pull out and a little tough to push back in nicely. You want to pull near the corner. You also want to start pushing it back in at the corners too.

Yes, mine had the double sided 3M tape already applied onto the visors.

I hope yours are genuine Mugen and not the fake ones. Where did you buy them from? Did they come in the Mugen box that looked like this?

AJ is selling for CAD$169 I think

real Mugen comes with a nice box of clips,insructions, the 3M cleaning thing and the double sided tape doesn't have 3M on it, its like orange colour tape, each visor has 2 holes drilled so you can use the plastic plugs to plug in the metal clips

Did they tell you it was genuine Mugen or that they were Mugen "style"?
