4 on the list now..........

All we need is ONE MORE to start the production, and that mean I gotta scarfise my OEM Visor for the product :)

IMR22C,

I would love to make them in the OEM material, but the cost involve will be way too high as our quantity will be low, the mold will run in the upward of $2500-$3000 USD alone (rough guess).

Need to make a similar thing for targa tops to stop our leg from getting drenched every time it starts raining.

I also think tinted lexan or perspex will look much better. Just food for thought.

Just Ace,

Find me enough ppls and the original visor and I will start making these for you :)

MRTurbo,

Its regular carbon (wet) and its vacumn molded, but it is 100% carbon fibre in this case. Yes, price include all shipping charges

Tree,

Yes, it does help a little, but given the limited space allowed on the hardtop, dont expect it to be "VERY" water resistant.

Does the rain visor help keep water out when windows are slightly down (for those without A/C to manually de-humidify fog) or mostly aesthetics?
That Lambo yellow SW20 is the reason I got those rims lol.

Here we go guys, I am about to get back into the game on full gear. Hoping to find a MR2 soon and I will be starting to do some unique pieces for our beloved MR2 SW20.

I have a very very reputable shop that does all the bodykit/trim pieces for me. The shop handle mostly very high end euro cars and custom parts for race car.
This piece comes to mind when I saw the below picture on one of his demo car. Long story short, I went ahead and got myself an OEM JDM visor

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposed Product: 100% Carbon Fibre OEM Rain Visor for your Hardtop / Sunroof.

Details: Due to the curve/flexiblility needed for this unique visor, the material and mold will be much harder to make. In order to do this perfectly, 4 different molds will need to be make (1 upper side and 1 under side, for 2 sides).

I will opt for the smooth finish without using mounting hardware other than heavy duty 3m tape (OEM uses about 4 little metal taps that goes into the rubber molding, not a good idea as it will easier damage it).

The complete piece will be build in carbon fibre, therefore, both upper side and under side will be nice shiny carbon finish (just like the below pictures).

Price Details: This piece will be expensive and I will only do this if I can get enough interest / deposit on it. Given a used set of OEM visor will run you anywhere from $250-$300 nowaday, these will be a good option

5 sets     = $335 AUD Posted
10 sets   = $310 AUD Posted
15 sets   = $290 AUD Posted
20+ sets = $280 AUD Posted

Ordering: I will need $150 AUD deposit to confirm your spot. Pls state your user name in the paypal.

** I will start to collect deposit once I get the first FIVE interested buyer on the list **

Paypal: [email]chriskwwong@netvigator.com[/email]

Interested Buyer:

1 - HKSMR2TURBO (MR2OC.com)
2 - Tj saxon (MR2OC.com)
3 - JRMR2 (MR2OC.com)
4 - JPAudio (MR2Australia.com)
5 -
6 -

8 -
9 -
10 -

Leadtime: Once I get enough interest/deposit, the production will start, this will take about 3-4 weeks for the initial tester, then I will fine tune it in case of any issues (fitment/finish/etc...). Expect it to be all done in 4-8 weeks.
