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!
