You can always tint the rears and leave front untinted. That's what I did. Visors will not look gay, it will look great. It'll look great on SFP.

idk if it'll look great on untinted windows on a starfire pearl. maybe if u had an obsidian or something it could work. but definitlely tint those windows. not necessarily too dark where u get pulled over all the time, but dark enough where theres not such a huge contrast between the visor and the window.

I just installed my AVS shades today. After reading about others having small issues with the tabs fitting at the mirror I took my time dry fitting the shades first. It was pretty apparent to me that the tabs are actually a little too long on top for a proper fit. I used a dremel with a sanding drum to sculpt the tab a little. I probably shaved off the top 1/2" or so before it tucked in nicely behind the mirror and allowed the shade to line up with the factory chrome strip correctly. Also, not sure if anyone else has had this problem but my passenger front shade is slightly warped in toward the window. It ALMOST touches the glass. It's visibly warped for about a 4" span. Not a huge issue unless you're a picky bastard like me. Lol.. I'll contact the company and see what they say. I don't think the average person would ever know the difference but I see it clearly when. Looking down the side of the car from the rear. Other than a few other so so finish issues with the plastic it's self, I'm pretty happy with them. Certainly issues I can live with given the difference in price for he JDM's.

WOW......

Fantastic service from StreetSide. I just called them and told them about the one vent shade being slightly warped and almost touching the glass. No questions asked, they just pulled up my order and said they'd send out a replacement set and prepaid shipping to send the old set back.

Obviously though, I'm only removing the ONE that has a problem. The rest are fine so the other 3 new ones will go right back in the return box.

THANKS STREET SIDE !!

Bought a used set on amazon on sat for 68.99 + free shipping with prime. Just got it and the box is smashed but the shades are brand new and still vacuum sealed. I was scared when I made the order and upon seeing the box but now I am very happy lol. Thank you avs for making such big boxes when the shades take up so little space!
