you attach them with plastic clips and 3m tape. you need to remove the weather stripping to install the clips.

The installation on my Fit was a breeze. The double sided tape is already on the visors and all you have to do is pull out the weather stripping to install the clips.

I only used the 3M tape that was already on the visors. I didn't use the clips, so no holes to drill. Make sure its not cold when you put them on so the tape can adhere properly. And don't let it get wet for a day or two after you install them.

The visors on my driver's side are fading and hazy. Is there a way to shine them up again? Would one of those headlight restoration kits work, or are the visors the wrong kind of plastic to use that stuff on? Not really sure what to do...

^I was just wondering about that. Do you have the mugen visors?

Anyone else have any fading issues with the mugen kit?

you can use 3m scratcher remover stuff to buff them to a shine.

Mine are copies of the Mugen visors, but they look exactly the same. The driver's side ones are dull and cloudy looking. The passenger side ones look the same as the they did when i put them on 2 years ago. Thanks Zeusone, I'll have to look for that 3m stuff. Have you used it on window visors before? I just want to make sure that whatever I use doesn't make the plastic brittle or make it look worse.

PlastiX or PlastX something like that is a plastic polishing compound, also pretty good at cleaning them up.

The visors come with the clips, visors, and 3M primer. I haven't seen anyone post any information regarding the primer. Is this something just like an alcoholic wipe to clean the edge of the door frame for better adhesion? My Japanese reading skills are not up to snuff at the moment.
