    That's too bad. priusgto, do you have any issues with letting someone run with the idea?

    I don't have much in the way of tools but would be willing to team up with someone in the Seattle area to give this a go. Once the mold(s) are created and the supply (color options) of ABS located it wouldn't take very much time to create a set on request. I'm looking as something better looking than the elastic band slice visors that are for sale out there and liked what I saw here.

    Knock yourself out Autoist, I won't mind. One reason I didn't start making more to sell is the liability. If it were something that was used when a vehicle wasn't moving than I'd be all over it, however, we all know how people are. Not enough profit in this endeavor to cover the cost of a consult with a lawyer. Remember all the suits over the Prius floor mats? Just wait until one of these falls off and gets caught under the brake pedal.

    Yea, I was so mad when I took my 2004 Prius in for some work and they replaced my mats without my say so (the new ones were lesser Qty too)... I went back, but they had already taken out the trash.... I check with my foot for objects near / under the pedals.

    but it a shame... was looking forward to a set... but fully understand.... Our Family as never been SUE happy... Yea we are not normal and greedy.

    Still nice job... it is patentable ? just thinking...

    Wife constantly complains about the sun in her eyes. The factory visors need to be redesigned. I had an old caddy that had pull out inserts and was a perfect solution.

    BTW/ what with the one eyed lady below????????????:LOL:

    Looks great. Just wanted to share another option, it doesnt look as elegant, but I was quite pleased with the quality and effectiveness.

    I am 5'8" and when I flip my sun visor down, it blocks my entire view of the road. If I wanted to drive with the visor down, I would literally have to tilt my head and lean to the side.....does anybody else have this issue??? Or even better....a solution?!

    Lol, tilt the sunvisor away from you, toward the windshield, so the bottom edge is higher.
