I think this is considered a mod. Paid $70 for amp install and $90 for 8awg wire. Not only did I over pay for the wiring, Im putting in another amp and now have to rewire with 4awg.

 

How are wind deflectors supposed to "flow" ? They are designed to force the fast moving air around the window opening instead of into it. The cabin is 50% quieter with the windows down with the visors on.

As for deforming the seals: did you expect something that fits into a space that is already taken up completely by the glass to not expand to accept the added thickness?


Not flaming, just trying to understand your reasoning.

 

You're right, they are not supposed to flow, but I didn't realize how bad they looked until I got them on. They definitely detracted from the clean look I have going on. Also, prior to installing mine, I had never seen visors on an xB in person. Going off what I read, it seemed they would fit in there just fine - which they didn't.

If you have them and like them, that's great, just not my style and not something I made use of. They may not be a waste of money to other people, but they were to me and have been thrown away.

 

just got my wade visors in the mail yesterday. im going to put them on tonite...anyone have any suggestions for installing them outside of the printed instructions that come with?

thanks in advance.

 

i got the Auto Vent Shades (in channel vent visors) from a dealership..used my $50 gift card on em so i paid $30 out of pocket. i was excited bout gettin em and called around numerous local dealerships to try n get em. when i was installing them, i found out they didnt fit! they were longer than the window channel and wouldnt fit straight. i couldnt keep them in the channels and couldnt get the window all the way up either. they looked terrible because of its awful fitment and i had to break them and throw them away the same day!!! to me i try n make value of every dollar i spend, i'm sorta frugal...and it pis$ed me off to know $80 went down the drain.

yesterday i jus got esams visors...and dang well worth my money!!!

 

The instructions that came with mine worked very well. Make sure you clean the surface they are going on with the supplied alcohol pads and you should be fine.

 

Oh, okay.....I thought you meant flow as in "air flow" lol. I can understand if you don't care for how they look. I personally like the way they look on the xb, but they definitely aren't for everybody. I do think they look a hell of a lot more streamlined than the esams though.


Here are mine....with the roof rack I think they go pretty well:

 

Was it one of these horns?

my high performance trd leather shiftknob

 

The OBX option shift ****, I bought it with my Scion Gift card. I really wanted to just use the money on the TRD leather one, but they wouldn't let me. I guess I really didn't spend any money though, so I was OK with it.

I'm trying to find out if a set of 80's Supra horns share the same clips. I really like the way they sound, and if they clipped in, that would rock. My friend has an 87 Supra he is selling, and said I could pilfer the horns off of it as long as my stock ones fit.

 

you want loud horns ???


these will make you smile

I bought mine to cover my subs when I'm parked somewhere. Good investment if you ask me.

 

the only mod waste for me was the dual halo's when they first came out for 185.00 i think an aren't even worth the lighting... and now they are really cheap 2 buy off ebay. but the major waste of money was the scion security from the dealer which isnt really worth the money since the alarm doesnt really honk when u lock it an unlock it....

 

dual halo's are definately a waste mod

 

That is a function you can turn on and off you know?

 

Ventshades. Half a waste.
Picked up Weathertech and they were way too long in the front. Sent back the fronts. Ordered Wade fronts and they fit perfect, But Wade rear did not fit well.

The Wade rears were too thick and the window clunked when it was going up and hit the in channel vent shade.

I reordered the Weathertech rears (much thinner) and they did not clunk. Now I can leave the windows open a bit in rainy/snowy weather without getting the interior wet.

 

Seconded. WHAT A WASTE! I was hoping it would work like the cargo cover I had on my '76 VW Rabbit, but not even close! Fortunately it was only a small-$ waste.

I put Fiamm air horns on my xB and they REALLY help. I kinda munged up the relay area so I can't get the stock horns working again with the air horns, but I'm going to as soon as I figure out if the stockers are tied to ground or +12 volts. That is, does the horn relay switch to +12 volts or does it switch to ground? Any pointers?

 

What is an HU?
