From my research on these, they sit about the same as if you had your interior visors down, it sits at about the same level as them sitting looking out.

This style one was Discontinued a few years ago, gotta find them used if you can.

I was looking for awhile for one, then when one became available, Another one came my way. So I have a Spare one just in case.

The Red one got painted Black. The Gold one became available by the owner emailing me a couple days after I bought the Red one, after looking so long for 1, /i deceided to take the otherone as well. I have a few spare parts, ya never know when you'll need them.

Found the pic awhile ago searchin the gallery, or maybe it was searchin google images, not sure have had it saved awhile along with others that had this style visor installed.

I tried contacting everyone that had this visor, by whatever contact method I could and after a long wait, One person finally replied by email, and I bought the Gold one from them even though I had just bought the Red one.

I figured I better nab it while it was offered to me. When it rains, it pours as they say.

They are pretty hard to find, so if you do come across one GRAB it, they aren't cheap now considering how many were actually made. The Red one was offered @ $500.00 here in the classifieds. Took awhile but the seller and I worked out a little better price.

The 3 pieces I just had painted Black cost me $125.00. (cheaper than I could buy all the Quality Automotive paint, clear, primer, thinners, reducers, hardeners and supplies needed myself.) For these 3 pieces, so I let a shop do it.

As soon as I WASH it. LOL

We have had cooler temps and rain on and off, you know the kind, it rains for an hour stops, then two hours later its raining again. Storms and more rain tonight.

Looks like it's gonna be like that the next few days and Thunderstorms on Friday. Showers on Saturday, Sunday looks good, so far. lol

Today we hit 71, sunny and breezy, so I quickly installed these within the short window of opportunity, before the next round of rain.

Pics only show the area I Dewaxed, now I gotta hit the area with my DA Polisher to Remove the swirl marks from the rags and put a fresh coat of wax on her.

I'll take some new full shots as soon as I can get my Visor installed.
