weathertech rain visors

Are weathertech rain visors lame because they only come with light tint ?
Are their any others out there that offer a dark tint ?
Would spraying them darker make them look like crap?

X2 I would love to buy a set. The only bad part in my opinion is they look so light and I've never actually seen up close pictures to see the details.

Best thing i can suggest is to tint them yourself with some vht, or get a tint guy to do it. I honestly am not sure if they even seel them tinted for our cars but I may be wrong. And if you use a spray make sure you wipe them down twice with some alcohol.

I have weathertech visors on my cl. They are not dark, but not that bad. I've never thought they look lame. My window is tinted. Maybe thats why. I like them.

Weathertech visors are the only ones made for our cars and they only come in light tint. I have a set on my NBP and they are okay. I have them mainly for cosmetic reasons though.

I think they're a great lil mod because I do like having my windows cracked without having the exposure and they're just dark enough for my application.

My only complaint would be is that sometimes they create a blind spot for me from the drivers side and it's annoying to kind of lean out.

I had these on other cars & they never worked like the are supposed to. Several sets mounted to the outside & fell off while driving after a few months. The sets I had that mounted in the window channels made the windows hard to close & one came loose & pinched it in the window breaking it. And I was not able to crack the windows & not get rained on. Maybe FL rains just comes sideways

Well when you make minimum wage and are limited to 20 hours a week, 90 is a lot!

Anthracitecl, any chance you can post another pic of the visors but a little further back? Like a few steps back so we all can see the whole car with it? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone else know if they still make/sell the sunroof visor? From dealership I think I saw that it's a discontinued item?

If not the best place to scoop one up is the junk yard. I see them there all the time.
