Mugen Vent Visor Install *Pics*

First off, if it doesn't come out of a box with this stamp, read no further.
Purchased from Speedtech Racing Developments (www.speedtechracing.com)



Removed my replica's and cleaned up the sills.



Mugen vs Ebay Replica

Knock Off rear visor (some are not transparent)



Mugen rear visor w/ embed logo & transparent



rear mugen visor. you can see the small hole for the clip.



Knock off front visors. Sharp hard plastic edge at bottom.



Mugen front visor. Has a rubber lip on bottom of visor.




Steps:

1. Clean the door frame w/ the supplied wipe.



2. Pull down the rubber window molding.





You have a total of 8 clips. 2 are different than the other 6.
These 2 seperate clips with the groove goes on the REAR door visor in the hole CLOSEST to the front doors.
(If you do not put these clips on this spot it will not line up properly along the sill).





The rest of the clips (6) will go on as such







3. Line up vents along door frame to get a visual on the fit.
Pay attention to the orange tear away for the tape. All tape
will touch the black sills. This will help you line it up.

When confident on setup, pull orange tape off, support the clips with your
index fingers and edge into place. If the visor sticks to the door when you weren't ready, just give it a firm quick pull, it'l pop right off. Be careful and have patience.

4. Put the rubber window molding back in.
5. Push along the tape line to get a good seal. Open the door
and pinch it tight all along for extra grip.

6. Enjoy!

Thanks, just installed mine. Was a breeze to install using this for reference. The weather stripping is not very hard to pull down and goes right back into place fairly easily. Just make sure to have a flat headed screw driver to help push it in when needed. If you take your time it goes right back in and looks as if it never was out.

You can get them here:
eBay Motors: MUGEN VENTILATED VISOR HONDA CIVIC FD 06 07 08 FD 4 DR (item 300311783902 end time May-30-09 12:39:48 PDT)

or from Kings, he is a sponsor here. They are a bit cheaper from ebay and are just as legit, very official.

Do your tint first UNLESS the tint shop uses computer cut tints.

If they do manual cuts they will need to put the tint on the outside of your passenger window to make the cut for the drivers inside, and same for driver outter for passengers inner.

However, not only clips, but 3M tape holds it on. You don't want to remove these once installed (although I removed knockoffs to put on the real ones, it can be done, u need to buy new tape, the clips are 100% reusable)
