I sorta like the look, it reminds me of a car from a Donald Duck comic book. For that reason alone, it is cool and I want one!
However, as pointed out, the trade offs are too many. Reduced visibility , added drag, and more. I would not want to drill and mount it. I like my roof and front pillars the way they are.
Speaking of roof, I do have some problems noticing the stop lights when I'm too close, so I get closer and look out the sunroof I knew riding far back and reclined had some advantages!
Now if I can get Donald Duck's license plate # "313" then I'd be truly tempted!

It looks ok, but there's no way I could do it. Like most of you, I have stoplight issues as it is.

I like the idea of a visor, I like the visor on the balck HHR from the Solvang run pics and I would definitely consider one on my ride. I have not seen the Lund visor yet, but other visors from Lund have appeared kinda' square and would not fit the design ideas I have for my HHR, so I gotta' check it out. The whiole issue of resistance is cured by an opening at the roof line to allow air to pass, the visibility issue, well at 5'8" I don't really see too much of that problem...

I like the look of Bud's Visor, but having one on my S-10 that the wind ripped off, nevermore for me. Still have the silicone covered holes to prove it.
