MADE MY OWN SLIM HATCH VISOR/GARNISH take a look

Post by puromx3 »

i always wanted a slim visor for the mx3 just like on the 240sx and once they became popular honda started making theirs and all kinds of other cars with visors. the reason for the slim or alternative to our hatch visor was because i didnt really like our long and big visor that surves more functionallity that appearance lol.
so i tried to make one from fiber glass. it was alright but didnt come out that great. then it hit me.
BAM!

I AM VERY PLEASED! even if it tampers a bit with aerodynamics n such just a bit. just thought id share this with anyone that enjoys slim visors.
who knows if a lot of people like it i might be willing to make more n sell.
COMMENTS, COMPLAINTS, IDEAS?

-damn rear seat looks ugly!!! need new one! :shock:

There was a company in Germany years ago that made one, from what I remember they would not ship to the US :(

But I like it!

i thought it would look good in white also but when i painted it white i didnt like it.
i have a bunch of black painted pieces so black looked better in my opinion.

:wink: :lol:

I think it's a good effort, a little small in my opinion from front to back but over all any thing to cover the view of that nasty back seat is good. :P

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

They no longer sell them, the term they sold them under was "Hatch shade"
