OEM and Mugen visors are not stick on. They have formed brackets that fit between the door frame and the run channel. The ones that fit in the run channel can deform the channel or interfere with the window.

There is a strip of adhesive to seal the visor to the door, but they are not held on this way.


$260 is getting you the unique styling, the perfect factory fit, and whatever minimal aero benefit the shape gives.

how can you guys not like these visors. I would never get those plain weather tech style ones but I like the mugen ones cause it gives the car more lines.

I finally took my visors off and the car looks way better IMO. I wasn't sure that I liked the look of them to begin with but after having spent $160 on them I thought I should probably leave them on. Now that they are off they will stay off.

The Mugen ones are almost identical looking to the factory ones with the exception of the indent. Can't say that I would be excited about spending another $100 for the Mugen name.

It is good to see they're not AutoVentshade stick ons, thanks for the clarification.

I don't care for the look on account of the polished trim that extends from the trailing edge on the rear visor. It would be functionally pointless and goofier looking to extend them down the rear 1/4 window though, so, whatever.

I don't dig them at all usually, but this car does deposit every drop of rain in my window controls if even cracked 1mm!
