where to buy window visors?

Where can I buy Mugen visors for a 2006 model? Do the 2008+ visors fit the 2006 model?

Usually you think of http://www.kingmotorsports.com/category.aspx?cat=8

The 2005-2008 are the same body style, so whatever fits them should fit a 2006.
The MMC was 2009, so 2009+ are different. However, it has been reported that the 2009+ shares the same doors as the 2005-2008.

How are the mugen window visors different than the Acura ones?

they are in the exterior section, 300 bucks for some window visors seems a little expensive though....

Yep. One of those things where even if you're rolling in money you're wondering if they are "worth it"

One wonders if they would make more money selling a larger quantity at $115, versus a smaller quantity at $300

Must be a prestige thing

Actually, I thought it was a smoking thing.

I always understood the visors to allow you to keep the windows cracked a couple of inches to allow fresh air flow, with little buffeting, while it is pouring rain.

These were quite common in the Southeast Asia, especially when cars did not have air conditioning, and you have monsoon rains.

Now, I figure people just use visors so they can have plenty of fresh air blowing through the car when vehicle occupants smoke, rain or shine. Otherwise, modern climate control system work so well, that you can even run the AC in the winter with heat to get warm dehumidified air. Plus AC and windows up keep a quiet environment for the audio, and save gas with increased aerodynamic efficiency.

Or so I thought.

What are these visors really for?

I meant prestige thing in terms of why they charge $300 for them.

That is, why not charge $150 and sell 10x as many. Thus, perhaps it is a prestige thing, staying in their niche

Like no one will keep buying $20,000 "brand x" purses if they roll out a line of $200 "brand x" purses because they have lost the prestige value.

Yup, but 300 bucks for them is way over...like how one side of the lip kit for Mugen is close to 1000 dollars...not happening for me.
