i have a set of the in channel ones... to let you know after a few yrs the channels loosen up and when you shut the doors the visors will rattle. also do a tad while driving with windows up. but they look tons better IMO then the stick on ones.

sleepyalero · 09-03-2013, 08:24 PM

Yeah thats whats happening on my buddies burban. One hangs down, im sure you could glue em in.

TruGreenGAGT · 09-03-2013, 08:28 PM

mine dont hang at all, just rattle when doors are shut and i've had em in for 7 yrs

Pics Jim!! I wanna see the in channels.. I have to get a set, the closed up tight is murdering my dashboard... nothing until this year, and it's from leaving it sit all sealed up. :crap:

I don't like the way they look on a 4 door at ALL, but they're necessary without a garage.

TruGreenGAGT · 09-03-2013, 09:03 PM

I asked him the same question, i texted him and asked for pics he td me same thing. Damn you jim.

Put in the gauges today to get a glimpse, they look nice. I found a write up on how to take the silver ring off so I can paint that black. Other then that they feel like nice quality gauges for the price. The bottom hole on the gauge pillar is perfect, nice snug fit, the top on is a good fit but the middle hole is barely bigger at like 1/32 or 1/16 bigger then the gauge itself, silicone should probably fix that.

BTW the instruction sheet that came with the voltometer was for a tachometer, did they send me the wrong sheet or is the wiring near the same?

Also, dem Bridgestones

Nice prosports!

Im sure its the same, its easy as searching google prosport volt gauge installation. Should have a install guide pretty easy.

you guys they've been installed for some 7 years, so basically every picture of the car I have posted you can see them mounted. also when I bought them they only offered light tint, so I sprayed the underside (closer to window) with black paint

tw0123 · 09-03-2013, 09:46 PM

here are a couple shots of the inchannel vent visors... best $100 the ex spent on my car!!!

The rear ones slip more than the front, especially with the windows open at highway speeds... just the slight slop of the rear window allows the wind to get them...
I have had to use double sided tape on the passenger side one, as it cracked because it slipped one day...

bricooper78 · 09-03-2013, 09:52 PM

Oh yeah, way better!

They are great for a smoker

Plus its nice they hide your windows cracked in a parking lot on a hot summer day. Plus if it did in fact get caught in rain and i left my windows cracked, the car wouldnt get wet inside.

99ga · 09-04-2013, 07:07 AM

why did you take them off? are they damaged?

Lana needs to be in the garage, not the civic!

I haven't clay barred and waxed my car in probably two years.

I didn't have a garage or anywhere to do it the last place I lived, and I haven't had any time to do it since I got back to MI.

My lame ass work schedule doesn't really give me free time after work to clean my Honda.

Still, for me not washing/cleaning it often, my detail job is holding up rather nicely. Then again, it's silver. I'm not compelled to clean it like I did with the GA.
