Trying to get some ideas from anyone that has one of these. I know (or heard) that they were all the rage in the 90's, but that is not why I'd want one. If they serve a function, such as making up for the total lack of visibilty in my hatch out the quarter panels, then I am all for something that some consider ricey, provided it serves a good function.

So anyone have one? I know they have the 4 and 5 panel variety, the 4 panel doesn't require removing your visors, but I would be worried something so wise would be kind of wobbly without being bolted into the visor mounts (like the 5 panel).

Good enough review to justify me picking one up tomorrow. I think Autozone sells em for $20 (or I hear)

And I think I just discovered my next interior project, although I am iffy on the total freaking overkill of this company.

I just pretty much finished up all the little reupholstering projects on my interior, got the Dmax carpet mats last week. Carbon might be kind of lame, but it looks cool if done with a minimalist style. I'm not really sure what to do.

I've always wanted one but I have an extra long torso and worried about the mirrors hindering my front view. Your interior is simple but so freakin' nice though.

Thanks! Considering the cluster-f that it was when it started, its came a long way, I'm into it way too much money. I've spent almost as much on the interior as I paid for the car, and that was buying mostly used parts.

Maybe I should call it finished and leave it at that, but I am finding all these little DIY stuff that seems cool, like the LED back-lighting for the instrument cluster, carbon wraps, etc. Or do the smart thing and start saving up for an engine, wheels that aren't 30lbs each.
