Question Roof Visor What-Cha-Think??

Looks like Lund has released a roof visor for our rides.. what do you guys and gals think? My first impression is I dont think I want one, even though roof visors are retro

Not for me. I think they are horrible looking.

To each his own. Personally, although I agree they are retro, they look like they would create tremendous wind drag. Plus, unless they are vented, they would act as a parachute and have a lot of air pressure trying to rip it off as you drive. Not to mention reducing the already marginal front visibility.

Does anybody else have a hard time seeing traffic lights when they are the first car? Unless I contort myself, I simply wait for the cars behind be to start honking. Late at night, I sometimes sit at a light for hours until another car pulls up behind me and blows his horn (LOL).

I too have problems seeing the light.
But I just recline the seat back and take a quick nap until I notice it changed and then sit back up and take off (Usually just as it turns yellow....)

So..I was totally confused by this...I was thinking Roof Visor as on that wind visor thing you put in front of the sun roof.

But now I know what you mean...and I couldn't handle that, would just blind me and cause traffic jams in my area.

I like 'em but I can't say I am ready to put one on my HHR (yet).

Buds HHR visor looks good with his theme...

Visibilty is definitely a problemat stop lights, so a visor would all but elimenate driving on city streets.
Took that road rage quiz yesterday, just put the cuffs on me now.

Unless we design hydralics to automatically tilt it up when the car stops (like the spoiler on the Chrysler Crossfire only in reverse)

I'll have to go with the majority on this one, and pass on the visor. Novel, retro piece of hardware, but maybe a bit too retro for my tastes.
