girl included?

 

Makes me want to buy 10 of them!!

I've seen something like that before and it looks really good. I like the official Rumion ones because they have that slightly transparent look, so you don't have that naturally dull black generic look you see rendered with the generic equivalents.

If I were to come around to purchasing vent visors for my xB, I'd probably get them to be the standard size. They look very sleek like that, but for some reason it doesn't seem like it would function as well as the former. I think that you'd get more air using the larger ones rather than that smaller one; granted, of course, you are using it for function rather than aesthetics.

For aesthetics, that slim one looks great. Oh, and the visor looks good, too. Wait, what are we talking about again?

I think these have been out for a while but there are no pics out there. Here's a link to the actual company. They have an xB2 with the regular looking visors, but they don't have an example of the seamless kind. I would really like to see what these look like.

I found a pic over on ClubxB.

 

I knew I'd seen them somewhere! I've always been on the fence about these things. If I get a set I might try these ones out.

 

That chick had on a pearl necklace... What a hoe...

 

I picked a set of these up. Here are the pics...

 

That looks really good on the box. I like how sleek it is. The only problem with my box is that I purchased chrome pillar overlays so it wouldn't fit on it correctly.

 

Damn those are dope! Im so getting those!

 

They look okay I like the speed element ones look better (but too bad the speed element ones that claim perfect fit actually are way off by the mirrors)

 

Hannibal - How much space is between the window and the visor? Looks to be about a centimeter or less. What is it like when you crack the windows open while driving at highway speeds? Do you get reduced turbulence in the cabin? Does it create a nice flow of fresh air into the cabin? Very curious. Thanks. I might jump on a set of these or the fake Rumion ones.

 

I will check that on my way home from work today and let you know. It has been hot so I have been using my AC so the windows have not been down while driving. I will measure the gap between them and the window also. I also thought about the fake Rumion ones as well but decided on these as they flow better with the car. They almost look like they came on the car.

 

I love the low profile look there but after the last two posts I'm curious about the turbulence factor. If there is no improvement (especially in regard to preventing rain from entering the cabin) then I would merely keep it on for aesthetics.

The space between the visor and the window is about 1/8 of an inch.

There is less turbulence than before I had the visors, I don't feel as though I am getting beat up by the wind and it is quieter than before. I was traveling about 70-80 mph with all the windows down.

I am not sure how far down you consider a "crack" but I tried it at different window heights (all below the bottom of the visors) and there was still fresh air coming into the cabin.

I have not had to drive in rain yet so I can't answer that question but the first time it rains I will let you know.

I hope that helps. I am very happy with them so far. They look great and seem to be working just as well. They do not flex or move at all either so they will probably stay on better than the kind that stick out more.

 

Thanks for the info. I think they look great.

 

Well done. Looks fantastic and I'm glad that you are pleased with them. Perhaps I shall take a look at these for my box in the future.

 

Looks like they're using one of your pics on eBay:

Yeah I was emailing them before I bought them to see if they had any pictures of them installed on an xB. Told them I would send them some to use once I got mine and put them on.
