background: they make visors for jets, military vehicles, and for ICON/TLC. Pretty popular upgrade on the land cruiser forums and forums frequented by those that have way too much money.
Material: CNC aluminum and optically clear plexiglass.
Price: 185/pair for replacement
195/pair for clip ons.
Order: manufacture direct.
options:
1. 15 or 18 inch plexiglass (i ordered the 15 inch)
2. permanent/universal vs clip on (I ordered the permanent universal mount)
Why did i want it: If you are not vertically challenged like me, you will find that the OEM sun visor is pretty much useless around town, especially around intersections and spotting traffic lights because the visor blocks your entire view or it doesn't. This visor pretty much fixes that issue. The best use of this is right before dusk and dawn, where its too dark for sunglasses, but that big burning fireball is right in your line of sight, or you have dark tinted driver and passenger side windows, and sunglasses are too dark for some occasions, or driving in town, where seeing is actually important regardless of the position of the sun.
Pros:
1. infinitely adjustable, using allen screws, thumb screws and ball joints.
2. perfect CNC and plexiglass cut.
3. perfectly optically clear and blocks glare pretty much 100 percent. You can stare into car headlights if you wanted to.
4. it is universal if the vehicle uses 2 screws to install.
5. packaging is perfect, customer service and response was perfect.
6. you can pretend you are in a leer jet.
Cons:
1. the universal mount leaves a side gap, which is okay with me, but some people might not like it.
2. it uses allen screws, i can see how this can be annoying or it can loosen over time, but i keep the allen keys in my glovebox just in case.
3. its expensive, but I personally don't think it is, due to the craftsmanship.
4. it doesn't block the sun out 100 percent (obviously), but that is not the intended function. So people who use it to nap in the car, might not find it that useful. I have a 5 inch tint strip on my windshield, and I wear sunglasses occasionally, so I find this upgrade pretty useful.
5. you lose your vanity mirror and light, so I guess you guys must find another way to put on your makeup ...er...beard conditioner when you meet the boys at your overland meets.
6. You are still not in a leer jet.
Conclusion: its worth it to me with specific needs, and those that want a custom look to the vehicle. It's a toss up between clip on vs permanent mount.
