Re: Windshield sun visor

visors do not look weird they look good and IMO the truck looks weird or naked without one.

If you don't like cab visors why even bother to open this page and look much less post ohh they look weird or stupid or something like that?

Easy Benoit. The man said he needed inspiration. In my understanding of the word inspriation and the need for it, you may not be too into something and need a little jump start to get you going. He asked how one would look on his truck and I said I think it would look weird. I didn't see the title "Don't open this thread if you don't love visors" Sorry if I hit a nerve Dude. They still look weird IMO.

I agree. The only ones with 'em around here also sport wings, 24's and glitter paint jobs.

Re: Windshield sun visor

lol easy just copy and paste from photo bucket.

It's ok man forgot about the inspiration, thought he just liked them and you didn't.

I see it all the time on other forums, ppl posting wanted cab visor or something and guys just come in and bash over it. IMO that's just a waste of time and space.

Sorry bout that man.

I hate to admit it but I like the lund ones we had, love them, but the other pics they do look weird, the big hump in the middle or the curvy ones, I don't like the curvy ones at all. The ones that are humped up in the middle I think I could live with.

I have no problem with metal flake or a metallic paint job, but these things drip glitter

Re: Windshield sun visor

I actually like mine. It serves the purpose of blocking the sun out most of the time, so I do not have to use my inside visor and have the damn strap fall. It just hangs there and it's a pain in the ass to try and get it back up to the spot I like it.... wow micro rant. sorry.

Re: Windshield sun visor

anything bigger then a 20 or so would be a no no in my book, glitter paint I like but I don't think I'd want glitter dripping ghetto fab stuff lol. wings hey now I like some of the fiberglass ones for trucks, my old man had one, but not a big ricer wing lol.

For me man they fit well with a roll bar on 4x4, of the cab fairiing(lund fastback or racer/razorback) things on 2wd or 4wd. it was one of the first things I bought for my 88.

Re: Windshield sun visor

That's cool Benoit. I wasn't trying to hurt anyone's feelings. That's really the beauty of these rigs. You can build them anyway you want them. If you like it that's all that really matters. I mean we are all driving our hobbies and that really cool.
