    Yeah, i assumed I would have to reapply a new strip. Might be worth the hassle...

    And they're good old fashioned generic eBay brand for all I know. The box said very little. Were you implying they look too large? Cause I'm sort of digging them.

    Not too large, but they don't look as flush to the body as the OEM (or other knock off) visors. I had a set of oversized visors on an old Civic that stuck out like 2.5" from the car and they made horrible wind noise. I really liked how they looked, but that fluttering noise got old real fast. Hopefully the visors you have don't have that same problem.

    I didn't notice any excess noise coming home from work just now - in fact I was surprised how quiet everything sounded.

    I don't think these are nearly as large as the look in the photo. I just shot the photo at a bit of a dramatic angle since they were hard to notice due to the tint. In fact I just measured out of curiosity and at their widest point they're only 1.5''

    I've been wanting to add an aggressive exhaust tip on my Prii but the Prius Plus kit won't allow it.

    A Prius+ with a G's rear bumper and an aggressive tip will be a Prius++.

    So, guys, I got ballsy.

    I ordered the H11 LED Morimoto XB Headlights from TRS to go in my low beams.

    They say not to use the ones I ordered for the low beams, but I figured life is too short, give it a shot, and if they don't work better than my OPT7 LED's, I'll give them to someone in the family :D

    Anyway, pics to come as soon as they get here! I'm hoping for a warmer light and a little bit further reach.

    How are your OPT7 bulbs doing by the way? I'm thinking of ordering some soon before daylight savings time is over.

    Just installed some weathertech wind deflectors and removed the weathertech sticker. Now I just need to get some TRD springs.

    Installed the Cusco strut tower bar. Did a quick drive and I noticed the steering is a lot more taught. I need to take a drive on the highway to see how well it drives. So now I have the TRD rear sway bar, Ultra Brace center brace, Tanaka front brace and now the Cusco strut bar. I think I'm done for now.

    Do they affect the ride going down the road any or just the feel and handling on ramps etc.?

    It affects more handling than the ride, IMO.
