Finally PICS of my Color-matched Door Visors

I finally got my Acura door visors color matched in beautiful Kinetic Blue Pearl. I know a lot of you might not like the look, but to each his own. Comments appreciated, both good and bad. I just wanted to do something different and am pretty happy with the outcome. The color match is dead-nuts perfect, IMO.

not a huge fan of window visors to start with, but those actually look pretty good. Nice job!

Thanks, they were $150 plus $75 for paint. They are not transparent, but dont really make visibility any worse.

Thanks, not sure what's next yet. I just did the ATLP j-pipe and RV6 race pipe, so my wallets gonna take a breather for a bit. I do wanna do the headlights though...

Looks good! I'm glad you didn't listen to all the negative comments and just did it. Paint job looks great.

One thing... since the door visors are pretty flexible (right?), will the paint chip/crack?

I'm gonna get some door visors for my NBP. Where did you buy them from?

EDIT: Actually $150 is normal. Hmm... gonna wait for a better deal, since its lower on my list.

Thanks, I'm happy with them. They added a flex agent to the paint (as they do on plastic bumper covers) so it shouldn't chip or crack easily.

Man if you look at just the two painted parts, you wouldn't know which was the original paint! I'm still amazed. Haha great job again.

Thanks. I think only a few colors could pull it off.

Like somebody said in my first thread when I was talking about doing this. "If the color is off, it will stick out like a sore dick"...

I have to see this in person, but im 50/50 on it. But I have to say the color matching is impeccable, i wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the plastic and car!!!

I guess because of the pearl, from some angles it looks like it doesn't match, but it does...

They look good.
I think it only works for KBP, since it's more of a racy color.

Thanks guys! Visibility is still good from the inside, it barely blocks anything. They only come over the windows about an inch.
