Default RacePlates prototype sun visor kit for EG - Pics inside

We are still working on the details as far as shape and hardware goes but we're thinking of producing these in sets. This is just a prototype. I know the factory pieces don't weigh much anyway but they look cool and nobody has done this that I know of. Let me know what you think. Also I forgot to mention they are adjustable for tension in both of the moveable directions.

yah, that is one part of the car you never need to "customize" unless of course you get rid of them

Some Stunna somewhere will prolly buy it though

Hey guys I think I already mentioned there is no weight savings but thanks for saying it two more times. This was a test that I did in my spare time just to see what it would look like.

BTW nobody buys carbon fiber just for looks do they?

I think there's possibly a market for those types of parts, probably not on HT, but I know there's people that are into those detail pieces being different than stock, I've even seen a guy with a cf headliner. Either way, good luck with the business

Agreed, Honda-Tech is probably not the audience that would be interested in these but I would almost guarantee that you can find a lot of customers with it if you decide to make them. Good luck

We arent downing it, the craftsmanship is there just not the need.

Why i personally dont like it ? Useless, the edges are hard corners. It wouldnt look that great on the headliner imo. I dont think its the best carbon fiber select you could do.

If the edges are done better (i.e. not so rough), it'll look alright.

Good luck with your sales.

dont get buthurt, you posted your product and got an opinion. you want to do it to your car cool. Doesnt mean we are going to catch on to make you a quick buck. I am still trying to get over the distastefull use of carbon fiber trunks as if the stock ones are just tooooo heavy?
