I got really excited and installed it right away. it was the third piece that I installed(did the passenger side first). I thought it was just a smudge. But after taking the car outside i notice and realise it isn't.

 

well...i'll be sure to open and inspect every single one before i ship them out then.

 

WOW. Woke up got dressed. Went to check email.

knock knock.

They arrived!
Installed!
No problems.
Will post pics later.

Thank you.

 

Hey gcat007: did your visors have the noticeable bubble marks?

 

i'm dying for mine to get here!!!

 

Ok. I got mine but had to go take some friends to the airport so all I had time to do was install and fly. However, now I have time to do a small update on them.

First off I am very happy with the product. It's not perfect but it's not complete crap like my old shades (which BTW I went through 2 sets because the driver side got caught and shattered twice on me and in my ear). Needless to say many of you might remember me as the "What kind of visors are those!?" guy when I first got my box and started looking around the many forums. So on to the review.

Check your visors. If you see any imperfections let Tommy know ASAP I'm sure you and him can go from there. I checked mine out because I saw Sid's post and the only thing I saw were a few minor scuffs. Most likely due to handling. Being these are plastic I'm fairly sure the scuffs can be polished out with a plastic buffer. Probably use an acrylic scratch removal kit found in most pet stores in their aquarium section. The stuff works wonders for acrylic tanks it should work on these. Like I said with mine I see no real reason as there are really no noticable imperfections to the naked eye. Even when a good inspection was done.

Here are some shots of mine on my car. I took them after I dropped my friends off at the airport. I am happy with the product. I was worried with the amount of time it took to get here but as a customer I would deal with Tommy again if something I wanted came up again. The visors do beat the $250+ price on the esams and you can not tell the difference at all.











Driving with them is also very nice. Good circulation and the noise level is actually lower than my old ventshades with the window(s) down. I tried just the drivers and every possible combination in between all four.

There is one thing that really bugged me about them though. It is not the fault of Tommy but the way the visors are made and the flimsiness of the windows. If you drive over a bumpy road and the windows are down they will rattle against the visors closest portion. This can be fixed. This might also fix the lip bumping the visor if that is happening at all? Get yourself some black felt cloth and some sticky adhesive. Cut a strip of felt to your liking and adhere it to the part on the visor that is touching the window when it rattles. That's it! Problem solved.

Now one last thing I noticed is my drivers side back catches sometimes. I'm pretty sure this can also be fixed with the felt and maybe a little shaving of the visor giving it more of an angle against the window. This way it may still contact but it will just glide right past.

Good luck everyone and thanks Tommy.

PS- Folks all I've given is my personal review of this product. If you have any issues please contact the seller (Tommy) and work with him. If you decide to use any of my tips please do so at your own risk. I am not a proffesional visor fixer upper and these were all done with the knowledge I may f*ck things up under my own doing.

 

thank you kindly for the wonderful input.

I did my best to provide great fitting parts. Like from the beginning, I also took the initiative to test the first sample before mass producing.

Of course this is a replica and it won't be 100% perfect.

I'm sure many of you if not all, will be satisfied with this product.

 

now in stock guys...any takers???

bump!

 

hey tommy i got mine and installed them. i'll take pics and write a little review sometime this weekend. thank for the great product bro!!!!

 

open on the weekends or does it have to be during the week...
i'll give ya a call saturday!!

 

it was my pleasure yellow_sub!

yep...you can call me and schedule a time for today!

 

Bump!!!!!

gcat,
I have not put too much thought about it, but I think the tip of the rubber wiper blade might work. I just need a strong rubber to plastic adhesive bond that won't eat the plastic.
what do you think?

 

I was thinking about all the other things and actually called my mother about this. She does fabric work so I figured why the heck not! We both thought about all sorts of fabric and we're almost certain that any type of ruber or even a soft plastic may catch the class and not let it slide properly. We even called some places about the rubbery part inside the window that has the velevet like fabric on it. Felt or velvet is pretty much our best bet. I'm going to go and check Joannes (local art/fabric place here) for this specific type of felt. The adhesive on the back is really strong and should work.

 

I don't have these visors. . . yet. . .hee hee. . . but my bro has something from japan like the ESAM Visors for his Camry. As far as I can tell there are about two clips that came with the visors used to keep the visors from touching the glass. I am sure someone can fabricate them. I might try my hand at them once I order the Visors and get them.

 

Can you send me a picture?

 

I just took a look at my bro's visors on the camry, I thought they were designed close to the ES's but they don't have the part that rubs against the window. I don't have the visors I just figured there are engineers and such on scionlife, someone has got to come up with something.

BTW Tommy I have sent payment through paypal.

 

Are there any available still? My hubby saw you have them listed on eBay now. I would like a set and can pay Friday 4/21/06.

Thanx!
Viki

 

ok everyone i got mine on fri and installed them about 3 seconds later. the wheather has been perfect around here to test them this weekend. it was sunny one day and pouring the next. i noticed that the other 2 people put theres right up along the curve of the sill and i moved them down about a half inch leaving a yellow boarder around them. the only problem i had is the same as everyone else. the front two visors clip the window on the way up and rattle when driving around. the left side even rattles when the window is up. but this can be solved easily with a stip of felt or rubber from a local hardware store, which if you read my earlier posts, i was gonna do anyway so it's really no big deal. other than that these thing look great and do what their supposed to do, so a big thanks to Tommy for producing these thing a hell of a lot cheaper than the esam ones.

 

hi viki!

Yes, they are still available. Just send the paypal payment to tommy@nsptuner.com when you are ready!

Thanks,
Tommy

 

they do look great on your car!

once again, thanks everyone for the great feedback and technical help on the visors. I sincerely appreciate it!
