I have the new Weather Tech Visor design, these are the kinds that fit in the window channels so it looks real stealth. They only cost me 110.00 shipped from Summit Racing.

After messing with Honda Visor 2nite an pre-install them, (I had to see how they LOOK on TL ) I can say Honda made well fit with screw mount visor compare to some other Window visor that just use 3-m tape

Here are pics are requested. The Weather Tech visors I got were in a light smoke color, but since they are against my 15% tint they look darker than they really are which is okay with me. I personally didn't think I would like the visors being that light, but in reality is makes it nicer to see things from the inside out, so it worked out.

A couple of notes from these visors.

1. The adhesive they send it okay, but you would be better of buying some 3M tape and attaching on the visors so that they hold better against the window channels. I only had one fall down, but that is because I kept messing with it. The other 3 are holding just fine.

2. The front visors can be a little squeaky when the windows are rolled down to where the end of the visors is, but this only because of the fact the visors are flush in the window channels and that is where some flexing occurs.

3. I love how flush the visors are with the window, I don't look like a truck or someone else who has visors 3m taped to the outside of the window, it looks stealthy. They also don't cover the door pillars.

4. Install was a breeze, it only took 5 minutes.

Don't get me wrong about the OEM visors, they look alright. The only think I don't like is how they cover the door pillars. Plus the pricing and wait is a little long to get a set of OEM visors unless you get lucky on the BM. I think the Weather Tech visors are a good alternative to the OEM ones and they are a little easier on the wallet too! I hope the pictures help out and good luck either way you go!

* One more note when looking at the pictures, all the scratches are not scratches at all, they are small pieces of lint from the towel I used to dry off the visors because it was raining tonight. *

Ok guys her they are I am still working on them but to me they look pretty good so far. First things first this is the dremel blade that I used



This makes clean cuts as you can see here where I cut the ends off wher it meets the mirrors


This is the other side I cut them and attatched the end pieces back on, I hat to tackthem with crazy glue then I used Automotive (GOOP) red tube. a clear silicone but it gets hard when its dry. sorry forgot the pic.





This is how they look , the goop is hard but soft enough to peel off the scrap pieces. I still have to smoothen out the rough edges to make it look proper I only put these pics so that you can see the process,

You can the black GOOP (silicone) but I had clear. I,ll paint the parts the show light like in the previous pics.

In this pic it shows the sloped part of the back door I used the sanding drum from the dremel but if you have a table grinder use that, I plan to them to work and make the edges more smooth as you can see oing it by hand makes it uneven.


This is wat the look like right now untill I detail them.



I'll post the finished product after I detail them before I mount them on the car. wish me luck ...

I hope this helps you guys if you plan on doing this yourself, maybe yours will turn out better. Good luck

I'd spend the extra money to get the honda access ones. Looks cleaner and no extra work.

I hear ya but every city has an a-hole who is jelous that your car looks better than theres so they wouud rip it off. If they cant look good why should yours. So thats y I went the cheap route.. still looks good + gives me the confidence to try doing mods..

they can't...

lol
if they try, it breaks...

but even then, its really strong

theres about 3-4? clips for the 2 front ones and 2 for the rear and also double sided tape. with good prep, you'll be fine.
