Probably a Dumb question. Do the visors help reduce overall wind noise inside the car? While the windows are up?

I got a quick question. I just got a tint recently and according to the shop its still drying or whatever. If i put the window visors on now would it mess up the tint in anyway? such as water getting in the area where the adhesive is for the tint or whatever.

Mugen/JDM visors don't touch the glass, so no effect on tint. Weathertech visors do contact the glass, but only on the outside surface, so again, no effect on tint.

Yes, fairly easy. Which style are you looking at?

If you need help, there are a few of us that live in the north bay... let us know.

Where did you get yours? I've been looking at the mugen ones but those OEM are way cleaner! I want some but can't find them anywhere.

Ditto. Looking for an OEM pair at a good price also. Best price I've found is about $150+ship.

I installed my JDM (slim) visors from jdmland over the weekend. A couple of observations -

1. No need to pull the rubber liner from the window frame. The clips fit nicely against the frame just by pulling the rubber to one side.
2. I did it by myself. It would have been easier with two but can be done with one.
3. To anyone with any visor - I doubt a visor is going to keep rain out of the rear windows. To get any air in under a rear visor, you will have to roll the window down far enough to open the back part of the rear window enough that rain will enter the vehicle.
4. The jdm visors look great - they really complement the lines of the fit without being too showy.
5. I got no instructions, japanese or english, and no cleaning pads. I just used 90% isopropyl to clean the trim and installed based on what I read on this forum. Thanks to everyone who's posted to the visor threads!!!!

You can judge for yourself - roll the rear window down about 3" and note the long vertical opening at the rear. I haven't tried it in the rain so I don't know how much water actually come in. If I get a chance to test it, I'll post observations.

I wouldn't rate them entirely useless and the jdm (slim) visors wouldn't look as good with just the fronts installed.
