Warning: The Speed Element ones look nice but the fact is they are not seamless their ebay photos are misleading there is a gap by the front tip by the mirrors, it sticks out. So they are not perfect but I have them installed anyway and like them a lot, and it beats paying a couple of hundred for the actual rumion visors. Personally I like the look of them as well.

Here are photos of mine:




I thought of maybe waiting for a hot day and taking a heat gun to it bending it and sticking another piece of 3m tape to hold it down but I have just been lazy. LOL

Default Vent visors

The Weather Tech are great, fit well, are snap in with no gaps and have a nice tint. Easy to install and look great.

Is someone from speed element on sl maybe we should ask them how to fix it? Or contact them on their website, or has anyone here fixed this problem? If so let us know how you did it.

Default ventvisors

Just got AVS seamless ventvisors - manufacturer is better known as Lund. Got good $ at autoanything - haven't put on yet but here is a picture they sent. web stores don't show pic of xB. They are attached with 3M tape and fit tight against the door frame. Come in dark smoke

Same ones, just different marketing outlets to maximize sales.

Howd you make out with the heat gun? I bought these same ones and the gap makes me crazy! I want to reshape mine as well. If you have pictures of how they turned out or anything thatd be great!

Do the Weather Techs fit perfectly? I'm changing my ride to fit the Rumion style, but they are damn expensive. The seamless are nice, but the Weather Techs look more like the Rumions.

I they fit perfectly for the XB, I'll get them. If not, I'll just buy the Rumion.

I wanted to go with the seamless ones, but seams like there's not enough gap to make much of a difference when window is down a little. Went with these Rumion style 2-tone from ebay member scionsport.
