I went to check if you'd been there... can't find my thread. Maybe it got deleted. I posted in an old hood vent thread I found on Google, should be on the front page. It's got a pic of my vents, pm me if you want a pair

I've seen these in person. While not my thing, it looks really good!

But yeah, it does cost a pretty penny.. even used!

This is not something I would even consider used anyway. Once all the brackets have been taped in place and then pulled off I would never trust any tapes or such again even if completely removed and replaced. Would also want something done with the rear 1/4 windows to make it look complete ('Stang GTish) but I don't think they exist.


Like the side window deflectors it would probably look better with some black down low to balance it out though.

Pretty sure the only application for me would be cosmetic. Doubt there is any justifiable practical reason for them up here.

I bought hic visors a few weeks ago during Black Friday.

Installed them during Christmas break earlier this week. No clips is definitely a pain in the butt to install, because having to line up precisely where to mount the visor to prevent window from hitting when opening the door. After spending an hour on each side, finally got them to not hit the window.

I heated the door trim with a hair dryer and after I stuck on the visor, spent more time heating the entire visor piece to ensure it bonds well. I'd say it definitely helps to have a buddy to hold on to line it up precisely, as I had to use scotch tape to assist me holding visor piece into place while mounting.
