And the gap isnt really noticeable cause the colors all fade together down there.

I really hate the fact that I have to manually get my window up.

i hate how the silver trim doesn't match the one on our car. I'm really on the fence about these now. I assume the JDM ones are the same way

Mine scrape/hit/whatver ever so slightly as the rear windows go up due to the sag of the visors towards the window.

The very first time the drivers window did hit the visor, but I just did a little tug job (hehe) where the window was hitting visor and it does not hit anymore.

RD yep ... it blows!!!
foams, it hits my window every time I roll it up ... so it kicks the window back down.
I have to open my door, step outside hold the visor out and roll the window then.... Royal PITA!

So would you say they are worth the $80 hassle? Seems like you just need to adjust it and it will work perfectly right?

I'd say it was worth it. No troubles really. It doesn't sag out of the box, just needs to be adjusted so as to not hit the window. From my experience putting them on anyways.

If you set the visors high enough on the OE chrome trim you won't have this problem. Set it too low, then they will bow inward and touch the window.

foam, it is worth it. As long as you don't mind working your way around it. It's like installing a rear lip with 3M because you don't want to drill.. well I have to work around the window issue LOL
Anyways, it is 40+ degrees, no way Jose, not driving with the windows rolled down... though it does suck when going thru a drive-thru... had to pull into the parking lot to roll my window up LOL
