----diy sedan to coupe rear window visor ----

ever since i got my coupe ive wanted a rear window visor (rear roof visor?) but i was only able to find them for the 4 door

after looking on forums i saw that toofastaccord said his was for a sedan and he got it to fit with some TLC so i went and ordered it and figured id put up a DIY to give back a little to this community that helped me

heres the auction on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...0440748110&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT

and heres what tools i used


an acrylic/plastic cutter from an art supply store for about 10 bucks


60 grit and 220 grit sandpaper about 3 bucks each


the visor fresh out the box


i test fitted it on the window then used the 3M tape as a guide for how much i was gunna take off...then marked it with a white paint marker


realised i didnt wanna take off too much and be stuck i made another line closer to the edge


scored it with the acrylic cutter about 2 dozen times with more and more pressure


grabbed some pliers and snapped it off


other side

this is when i forgot to take more pics

the next step is cutting an angle where the corner is...about a half inch then sand down the rough edges and youre done



finished product (with new blackout chrome trim)





hope this helped someone!

comments? thoughts?

looks nice

It looks alright. Props on DIY

good DIY man. the only thing that keep me from doing this is that I think that those visor sticks out too much and doesnt really flow with the car. But none the less yours looks good. got any pics close up? how it sits on the window

gas station pics ftw. gj on blackout and visor

i like it, this should be put in the master diy list... also the spoiler and roof visor look the same so it works
