Rain Guards

Looking to buy my GF some rain guards for her Si. HandaAccessories doesn't have them, googling I couldn't find them, and here I only found 4 threads and they are about Mugens.

Where the hell do I buy them?

I purchased mine from weathertech.com WeatherTech Automotive Accessories - Side Window Deflectors - 2008 Honda Civic - WeatherTech Side Window Deflectors, Vents, Rain Guards, Wind Deflectors and love them. They really do look amazing and they're in track, so none of that tape crap you have to mount on the outside.

Check them out and let me know what you think.

I had WeatherTech visors on my coupe and they were amazing. Also, they were not adhesive junk. No tape was used on or for installation.

They're held in by tension. Check my original response in this thread

Definitely WeatherTech is the way to go. Sticky ones can't compare, they have the following problems that WeatherTechs don't:

1. Can be stolen
2. Glue eventually fails and you'll start getting drips
3. Do not fit as flush as WeatherTechs
4. Look and fit like factory more than Honda's version

These are Honda's version and below them is WeatherTechs:

WeatherTech Automotive Accessories - Side Window Deflectors - 2008 Honda Civic - WeatherTech Side Window Deflectors, Vents, Rain Guards, Wind Deflectors


Fit is much better on the WeatherTechs, they don't unnecessarily cover the pillars between the two doors and don't over-extend past the glass like the rear ones from Honda.

Got a sweet deal for some Mugen visors, same price as OEM. Quality is top notch, can't wait to install them. Of course it is raining today and tomorrow though. . .

Washed and waxed her Si today and installed the visors. Looks really good IMO. I may be able to get a hookup on Mugen visors, would anyone be interested?

They are replica. Material is very sturdy, actually I was impressed when I opened them up. Fit is A+ minus a little installer error :Mad: on the passenger side.
