    Did you have it installed or DIY job....One thing i've noticed and trying to decide where I want it before having it installed is, I cant use my visor if its right next to my rvm. Wont fit above rvm...and in Texas there's A LOT of sun :x

    Out of curiousity, why did you use the visor mount instead of the wind shield mount and just put it up by the RVM?

    I know what you mean, sometimes I just wanna put down the visor, but know I cant............ I got used to it though after time and some $150 sun glasses ops:

    but of course that doesnt stop my mother from putting the visor down and punching the thing off the windshield.............. ANYWAYS take my word for it you get used to it, and really thats only a problem (For me anyways) while driving towards the sun, and I rarely do that, but when I do I bear with it, as hard as it is

    It looks great, but try to tape (or something like that) the wire in a way, it doesn't look nice to see it from outside... you don't need to hide the wire just make it a little more not-visible from outside... other than that, you got exactly the same install I have (but mine done by the pro guys at the CC in Buffalo, NY), plus I have my STI all covered in a black organizer for more stealth, black STI, black organizor, black interior as I have very dark tinted windows...

    BTW, winter is pretty cold in NJ, are you gonna take it down overnight and then every morning puting back on, I am not sure if the plug-in wire on and off is a good idea, maybe some experts and long-time hardwiring users can tell us the northeners the best solution :?: :idea:
