Default Another Window Visor question

I'm not a big fan of the sunroof visor, besides, if you have the sunroof visor won't it block the air from coming in when you have the sunroof open?

Lol, I think that's the whole point of the sunroof visor ... Although some people put it on for looks ... I won't be getting because I don't like how it looks, AND I don't want to block the air from coming in

I really couldn't tell you, but I do like the fitting and JDMness of originals. As far as price goes, IMO cheap stuff doesn't touch my car.
