Looks great. Did you make it out of fiber glass?

this one was just a quick mock-up. its 1/8" abs plastic

PD- what do you think, too big/long? or just no downturn on the corners at all. just lookin for some direction for improvements or whatever

thx

i dont mind the length actually, it's just the downturns that throw it off for me.

if you're local to socal and dont mind, i wouldnt be totally uninterested in having you make one for my car if i think the quality's decent enough

ive heard "different" a few times haha. LI and EXE thx for the input. i think i am going to make another out of thicker abs so i can leave a nicer rounded edge, or fiberglass.. it wouldnt be hard to change the shape also, ill mess around with it this week and put up pics. PD im in poway, if the next few come out well i wouldnt be opposed to seeing if the quality is up to standards haha

I kinda like the downturn on this visor. It is subtle enough to almost flow with the car while almost introducing a "new" angle; yet aggressive enough to make you take notice. I had to look at it a few times. Yeah,,I would rock this. Yall know that I like my mods a little "different"

I think the top of the wing needs to stick out more..it's to flush against the rear window.

Shorten the overhangs and make it closer to the rear glass so it does not have a gap .
