Post Mugen Style Window Visors Installed - plenty of pictures

So I purchased so Mugen Style window visors and installed them this afternoon. Quality & fitment, I'd give a 6 1/2 to 7 out of 10, I'm very **** about small detail. I should have saved my $$ and gotten the authentic Mugen pieces, but at 1/2 the cost of the authentic pieces, it was difficult to pass up.

I mean, the finish really is not that bad, but if you inspect it up close, you'll see small imperfections in the plastic. Also the size of each visor where it's cut, differs between 1-5 mm, it's not much but a trained eye can tell. Again most people won't care or even notice, but I do. For replicas, not bad. I'm interested to see some authentic Mugen pieces to see if I can notice any defects.

Install was a breeze. Just make sure to clean the black window moulding with rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt/grease. 2 people would be perfect for the job, but 1 person with a very steady hand and a good eye for matching will do. I installed these myself but did many test fits before removing the 3M backing for the tape.

On to the pictures:

I like the look of the Mugen style, but I still think the Honda Access flow better with the body of the GD3

Once I tint the windows I think the window visors will flow better with the car.

wow, i actually like that one. i guess that would be considered low profile. man, i remember when i was in highschool(96, 97) a few people still had window visors but they were trending out. for a few years after that, anyone around here that had visor's were made fun of. now it seems like they are back in style, or is it just this car??

can you role your window down a bit when it is raining, and not have water dribble in to the car from the roof?

this thread is just a waste of space when you consider how many other visor threads there are. Search and look through those.
