Personally I don't like the way they look on the 3G TL.

I've seen a few members color match them and it's not bad.

I have OEM and I like them. I think they flow nice with the WDP, black roof, and other black accents throughout the exterior of the car. I also smoke in my car, so they're not just for looks.

The car looks cleaner without them however if you must put them on, get them painted body color to make them look better.

got em and love em. serves purpose as well as looks.

allows you to crack windows during summer heat, and people can't even tell the window is cracked. that way you won't get random leaves or whatever falling into your window... kinda keeps bugs out in a way when the windows are cracked, as opposed to not having any visors..

can smoke during the rain with the windows slightly cracked.



how the hell does that fall into the "rice" category?

I would say GET THEM! I've seen them on the 3rd gen TL and I think they look good. I'm going to put them on my '08 TL-S. I can't wait!

interesting to say get them painted same as the car color, i was thinking of getting an oem set ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...d=400201383462 ) and they would be black on my AM...i thought it'd look alright

i'm sure they'd look good on your NBP, regardless i don't think they give off the 'ricer' vibe.

Easy to do yourself. They have hooks to hold on and double sided tape as well.

installed them myself. comes with tape already on it, you just have to peel off the backing to expose the adhesive. it also has hooks to lock into channel.

so it's both tape and hooked on securely. comes with instructions, but i found some here on azine and used those instead since i didn't have the instructions with me

everyone who just called TL visors officially got domed. because they aren't, and really do great if color matched.

but in my opinion they only look nice on silver/black tl's

I think they look good on any color as long as the car is tinted...

otherwise,

Are you wanting them for the function of them, or for looks? Either way I would say no IMO, I would think of another way to spend X amount of money. But, like always, its your choice

I know that they are a love/hate add on to our cars.... but personally I love them. I don't think that they are rice at all (as long as they are OEM)

Like everyone else says...it's all personal preference Vlad. If you like em get em!! I know they keep smokers dry in the rain, and reduce whistling if you have your window open a crack, but I personally don't like them at all.

go to weathertech.com , they sell visors that you dont need to tape on to your door's edge. They clip in and they lock themselves when windows are closed so no one can steal them lol. A friend of mine had them in his Accord and they looked awesome.

I have them on my TL. It was one of the first things I bought for my car.

I think they can look good or bad depending on the car. IMO the TL's OEM ones look better on it than just about any car I can think of....They style is great.

Keep them black. They blend in better with the windows; especially if you have tint. Painted would stick out....Unless you paint them black to match the exterior window trim
