Default window visors w/ fake quarter window trim piece?

I've been browsing window visor options, somewhat grudgingly because I've never liked how they look on the SC. I always figured it's because they're best suited to trucks with a more angular profile, but then I saw some Civic coupe pics and realized the problem is the lack of a SC rear quarter window visor to complete the line. In our case, it would be a fake trim piece.

Does anyone make something like that, or has anyone had luck finding a rear window set from another car with the right dimensions for SC quarter windows?

Blackout tape or Electrical tape...

Makes a big difference.

That does help the window visor blend in, not having the "chrome" to offset it, but the blackout tape itself doesn't blend quite right with the window edging in the better lighting of the second pic. Plus, that may not work as well on non-black cars. And how long does it hold up? Maybe if you take off the trim pieces and wrap the tape underneath...

Use a chrome trim strip that comes in a roll. I've seen it done and it works.

So, it would complete the line of the visor but blend into the window trim instead of the visor's smoked black color? Is it an adhesive strip that you cut to shape, like foil tape but thicker?
