Wind Visor...horror stories?

I heard some horror stories like windows falling off or something from my friends...

Can you guys explain the dangers or installing these? I think they look really nice but I want to weigh the risks before doing anything. After all, this car is my baby.

Thanks for reading, and input is highly appreciated.

Thanks and Happy New Year.

Yeah, I was dumbfounded when I heard these stories. Something about the panels and stuff falling off or something...anyway, thanks for the clarification. I'm gonna go hunt for an official Mugen Set now, only the best for my baby.

Anyone know where I can get a set?

I have had no problems with mine,the only thing I have noticed is it is kind of hard to grab the food from the people in the drive through. LOL

Luckily I have my hair clay'd most of the time. But the drive though....HMMM! DEAL BREAKER IN THE HIZZAY. haha joking of course.

But how do the CTR ones look as opposed to the Mugen ones? I'd be willing to get better ones

I've got those too, but how the hell would they make panels fall off? even if u unstick them form the window, and BOLT them into the panels they'd just break if u try to pull them off :S
