Window visors from H.I.C USA
 

Hey everyone,

Been contemplating purchasing these visors from H.I.C.

I know many members have bought the rear window spoiler with awesome results.

Just wondering if anyone has bought and installed these and how they are?

Thanks in advance:thumbsup:

so is that 50 for all 4?

Those look very nice for the price.

Back when i had visors on my TL i would tell people to do OEM or nothing. Aftermarket ones never extended to the small 3rd window

But i see times have changed and there are companies making visors that look almost like oem for a fraction of the price.

oem ones are like $145

I'd say go for it.
They look close to OEM, and costs 1/3 of the OEM price.

I havn't seen them on any TLs besides the one they have on the website, so don't expect many (if any) people to comment on it

oh yeah, I wouldn't say the rear spoiler had great results - almost all of them have a sagging issue in the middle :whyme:

im gonna buy these too!

at first glance, they really do look OEM

Agree, these look very close to OEM.

Checking out their rear visor, looks the nicest I've seen, it's sold out. Would've picked up that style, looked sharp.

the rear spoiler had a sagging problem that the company was aware of, so they're working on a new one :thumbsup:

really good company to deal with :toocool:

Do the factory ones stick on also, from the pics it looks like these do.

Yes, the factory ones stick on, but they also have tabs that hang under the seal. These ones just stick on.

Those look pretty good for non-OEM. I say go for it!

Yup looks like that's the grand total for all 4. I think im going to pull the trigger on these, its getting to be very wet here in Vancouver and it sucks having water come inside, plus adds to the look of the car


Thanks everyone for the input

they look good.. Would like to see in person.. Hmmm very tempting!

I ended up purchasing these, will update once installed :)

I would have considered these had I known. Bought an OEM set about a month ago.

You can take a cube of sugar to rub the logo off too without damaging the plastic itself.


I don't like logos.

wow thanks PB.. So just a straight up cube of sugar and rub along the logo??. I just bought these too lol.

Just bought the OEM ones? or HIC?

Hic. Came to like 100 canadian I believe shipped. lol

Oh wow, I got them shipped to the us/can border, worked out to about 60. Update when you install them :)

60 canadian? I wont have them installed until may, my car is stored for winter. PM me some pics when you install yours!

Yup 60 Canadian! Ill probably have them installed in about a week, will update here

Yup pretty much. I use it for a lot of silk-screened logos... I really don't like them. The cube of sugar acts as a very mild abrasive and over time erases the logo but doesn't scratch most plastics.

As usual, test in inconspicuous area. Uglier than a logo is a scratched area. :tomato:


If that doesn't work, second step is jeweler rouge.

They are 50 usd and thats 65 cad so how u get them for 60 cad shipped? lol

exactly what im thinking lol

its minimum 79.95 usd shipped even to ppl in the USA lol.

was there a promo code or something?

I got shipping for free :S, and I also had a promo code. Paid just over 60 CAD, 62.48 to be exact lol

also would depend on what your credit card's exchange rate is......

how do u get free shipping and whats the promo code? the ppl want to know lol

shipping was free when I chose fedex ground to lower 48 states, didn't need a promo for that. However, their customer service team did apply a promo code to this order, they had messed up a previous order for my tsx (stated order had shipped, I waited for almost two weeks, turns out it was out of stock the whole time)

got around to installing these yesterday. Come exactly as advertised and super easy to install, took all about 10 min for all 4. Weather is crap here atm, will update with pics in a few.

So comparing them to the oem visors what the major difference between the two? Is it outside mount vs inchannel mount?

That makes a big difference ..

wow, these look great! wish they had the rear visor available, I'd buy both.

Same^ I've been waiting on the updated rear visor for like 3 months now.

Patiently waiting on update... :whistle:

Anyone????

Update: just realized the roof spoiler has become available again for $89. Placed my order. Will post pics when i receive it.

Thanks for the update, looks like the price has since dropped $10 :). I just placed an order for $79.99 shipped.

awesome news

does anyone know what they changed with the new one?
pics look the same, i thought they promised a new improved design or something.

If it took them over half a year just to test new material, damn.
