Default Installed: OEM Window Visors (Rainguards)

So I got my OEM Rainguards yesterday from Japan. Couldn't wait, so I washed the car in the sun at 3PM today and installed them.

The rainguards is the most easiest and straight forward ones I have done.......yada yada. Ok onto the pics!

Enjoy fellas! And yes, it adds like 25 horsepower.

wow those look really good, i like the idea of rainguards but they always looked too wide on most other cars but these are almost unnoticable

i'm surprised no one has asked how much did they cost in this thread (and the other).

Thanks for the oh so nice compliments.

As for what's next....mmmm....nothing. I swear

CeoStatus0, lol. Mine has already faded from sitting in the last car. I never notice it now.

flyfl1pguy, hey now. You installed without hitting me up either. So were even.

06i, These are the OEM Rainguards from Japan. Not the WeatherTech versions which you install within the window channel and the windows rub up against it.

jerrysayz, No actually it doesnt cover up the window much. It actually covers alot lesser then I had imagine.

jinetix, hahaha. We'll never miss each other now on the road. "Hey! I see Rainguards!"
