Lightbulb JDM Visors - Checking in...

Just a little late to the party......

Best price and place to get these, is www.CarsonTuned.com

These pics were from a CL meet this summer...
(Many thanks to the CL members that took these pics)

I am posting them, even though I see them as red x's from my fire walled work computer..

Let me know if they are visible to you guys / gals.

Enjoy

Joe Z

Very nice! But what's the purpose of this window visor? Wouldn't it block your view somewhat?

as the first pic shows it's not that dark from the inside. i like to leave my window 'cracked' a bit during the few times the car is parked in the sun to let out the heat. with the visors, you can't tell the window is 'cracked'.

with the windows open, it hides the grey headliner along the door trim.

oh! it also helps natual air come in your car when it's raining to reduce some foggyness.

i just got them b/c i fell in love with them while in japan.

It actually doesn't block the view at all. The A-pillar portion is a bit thinner, so you can't really tell the difference while sitting inside. It does block the sun a little, but that's not its primary purpose. It is designed so that you can open a crack when its raining or snowing, so that the elements don't come inside. Smokers will benefit obviously because smoke can escape (which is probably why it is labelled as a very "JDM" thing to add since 80% of Japanese men smoke in Japan). Wind noise and intrusion is also reduced. But above all, it looks amazing!

Btw, please don't confuse the JDM visors with the USDM visors. The JDM ones were thoughtfully designed to compliment the styling of the car. The USDM ones only cover the window area and does not even connect in the middle, thus, looks horrible.
