Yes! I moved from a 00 civic SI to an is250 back in 06 and I felt the same way. You gotta pay to play. There is a cheaper alternative to the JDM visors called AVS window visors selling for 120 on Amazon.com. That is the poor mans fix on this forum. Congrats and welcome to CL.

lol yea my visors were $60 for my integra, and intake was $40. I understand you got to pay for what it is, but i can't justify $400 for window visors. may have to cheap out on this one

Congrats man! The car looks beautiful! Can't wait to see the drop and wheels on it. I too had a long wait to find the right one. I'm from nc and flew to Pa to get mine. Welcome!

today I put my Varianza's on to see what it would look like. I got a problem though. I was told they would fit over my stock calipers, well they indeed do not! i really don't want to get wheel spacers because my offset is already to aggressive for my taste. so are there some slimmer after marker calipers I can buy that wont break the bank?

Looks good but damn that sucks. You can probably get some is250 calipers and rotors to make it work.

I say just add the spacer they do make 3mm and 5mm spacer to clear the calipers. I dont think 3mm gonna make to much of a difference on the offset any ways.
