Matt's DB8 Picture/Progress Thread

Not a fan of the visors personally. The only point I see is if you smoke and I would never smoke in my cars

I can see your point, but I like them. Maybe you'll change your mind once I put them on.

lol

I hate it when it happens that way. I did the same thing when I put a CF hood on. It went to the paint booth 2 days later

well, the window visors are actually sort of a theft deturrent [sp] aside from the vertical section where the 2 windows meet, and the roof visor helps reduce the wind noise when you have the moonroof open.

and btw, the window visors dont really help in the rain... unless you crack them open like 1/4 of an inch or so, otherwise the rain still gets in . i do however get a lot of folks asking about the window visors or they get suprised to see it on a 4dr

I just think any car looks better w/o them.

 

[DailyDB8]

well screw you! fucntion > fashion dammit lol. j/k

Well when I first got my DB, I wasn't planning on getting window visors. Then I saw another green DB with them and made me reconsider. It just looked too sexy.

fashion > comfort

Function > Comfort. Lol!

Don't worry, I have an alarm. It's funny that you say exterior, cuz that's exactly what I'm gonna get.

1) JDM Si-VTEC front lip
2) Amber bumper signal lenses
3) OEM fog light kit (clear)
4) PIAA Ion Crystal bulbs (H3)
5) JDM window visors
6) OEM moonroof visor
7) Benen tow hooks
8. Seibon OEM CF hood

nice list, ebay has the OEM visors brand new for $110 i think at one point they were $200+... and the benen tow hooks were actually back in production on jhpusa at one point, dunno if its still in stock or if its back to being discontinued [probably a marketing scam ]. OEM moonroof i found on ebay for $40 bucks way way back for my civic... it fitted on the integra fine.

and oh the front benen tow hook is worthless for mounting on the reinforcement bar... you gotta find the adapter like the spoon for the actual tow hitch at the bottom on the car so it can be functional instead of looks. other wise when you tow the front... it'll jus rip your whole front end off

Thanks for the heads up man. I'm not worried about finding the Benen tow hooks.

I'm planning to head down to SD during break. Down to meet up for a little photoshoot?

Ok, you win.


















But I'm still getting the visors.

Do what you gotta do man. I just never thought wind noise and stuff was much of a problem with my teggy. But if you like the way they look then go for it

I know they don't have a lot of function, but they're tight to me. Wind noise isn't that much of a problem for me either. I think I wanna replace my weather stripping. Shit is getting old and beat up.
