Default Window visors

Im thinking about buying the JDM visors from carson soon, I tried seaching for pics, my car doesn't have tint, I saw that most who have the visors have them on the darker colored GS and usually with tint, my car is burnished gold hope that helps, and do these stick out much? like the weather techs

No, these don't stick out much. These are very clean.

First, they are functional. Second, they look good.

I bought them more for looks than functionality. They look great compared to the weathertech ones because they're closer to car, they look real sleek. They usually look better on blue, black, white and silver cars which are the colors I've seen them on but you could be one of if not the first with a gold car and visors. Even though for me it was more of a cosmetic upgrade, I say get them.

Well im not a smoker is more for functuality for me when raining or windows fog up crack the window a bit.
1. I understand these have a light brown color tint to them right?
2. If someone has a pic of a car without tint and visors on can you post just to get a idea?

I'm partial when it comes to window visors. I'd pull the trigger for a sunroof visor than window visors.

Let's get the terminology right. These are "rain guards"

Their purpose is to to allow you to crack the window open, guarding you from the rain, as you get fresh air, while it is raining.
