visor is teh ultimate gay i admit, but hey, a small price to pay for such a nice car =]

i love the 430 part of the car the most and the fact that i get attention almost everywhere i go hahahaha.... i'm not feeling the rims too much so i may change pretty soon (depending on how my funds go for the year) i guess the visor's purpose (which was also on my acura legend) is to shade you while you drive+help suck out air when it's hot or when you fart+keeps rain out when you're driving and need to let some air out.... I'm gonna keep it until i can find a somewhat more FLUSH looking sun visor... cuz this one's ultimately the gay.... but at the same time i'm not allowed to touch anything on the car (if i replace it, no one will notice)

It doesn't cost you to remove it does it? Removing it add much more beauty to the car. And for the air, just turn on the fan if U go fast. And I believe the visor also create drag.

Here's mine.

Different strokes I guess, but any add-on visor detracts IMO...

If it's hot, turn on the AC. That was a ~$60K (when new) car. 4-60 air cooling doesn't cut it.

If you need shade, close the sunroof. How is thinking "Hmm...I'd like some shade" a prelude to opening the sunroof?

If it's raining, close the sunroof. The Sun isn't out anyway.

With the active ventilated seats, farts will get trapped and die in a loop between the cheeks and the fan on the other side of the cushion.

yeah.... doesn't cost a thing but i often used teh sun visor on my legend, so i figured i'd be using this one a lot (past 2-3 days it's been soo damn comfortable i haven't touched windows/sunroof AT ALL).
