Probably b/c you don't ever have sun in your face whenever you drive. Driving down I-10 eastbound every morning M-F, I constantly use my visor. Makes perfect sense to me.

I am all for visor upgrades and customization or even time-intensive DIYs like Jimp's since those become a product of your own work and customization, but throwing $200+ at it is just dubious to me. Then again, I could see someone who gets the JPM visors also having a number of other coachworks parts, none of which I'd go for. Maybe I just don't have enough disposable income. |

Now if you compared the expensive bag and expensive visor as both being "hey look what I got" status symbols, then I would have related better! |

I was planning to put the Perrin's "Warning!" sticker on top of it - at least it has funny language in it like "This vehicle has been modified and require special driving skills - do not attempt to drive it unless you are able etc..." But unfortunately it's smaller than the stock one and does not cover it fully...

What I did was buy a 6"x6" piece of vinyl from my local art supply store, cut it in half and glued it over the warning.

Found these. Didn't buy them, but gave me a chuckle:

There's a thread here of a member who covered his in a nice microfiber cloth, it walked through how to split the visor to tuck the fabric edges inside.
edit: I see it was already posted but I missed it - http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...ighlight=Visor The coachworks ones look classy but do you take your visors off and send them to them for fitting? As posted above I use mine everyday so that's just weird...plus what if they don't send them back. DIY ftw. |

Yeah, it's a bit botched. Same with the Gross weight. 1670kg is like 3600lb's.

Gross weight is maximum allowed weight of the vehicle if you load it with 4 fat people and some stuff in the trunk. Exceeding it is sort of illegal. UPD: I just bought that sticker Last edited by Efferalgan; 06-21-2013 at 04:01 PM. |

You wouldn't happen to have pictures of how that turned out, would you? I tried to get the stickers off with little success, and that sounds like it might be a decent alternative to re-wrapping them.
