@procivic the photo on the site shows that chrome trim, does it come with that trim or is it all black?

If it’s all black I’ll buy tomorrow.

I've never had these visors, and have been seriously considering them for my 2016 Touring. Seeing these pics I think I'm convinced.

I'm checking out ProCivic next.

The hatchback ones are all black, the sedan ones are chrome trim on the top. Keep in mind if you have a sedan with chrome trim and you put all black visors on, it might look weird. They visors won't cover all of the chrome.

I’ve already blacked out my trim because I hated that chrome.

Real Mugen’s are the only way to go. Well worth the cost. I’ve had them on a couple cars now.

Hey guys and gals, I'm looking at the different types of visors here and I see that the OEM window visors are expensive compared to its aftermarket competitors such as ProCivic. I am wondering whether or not it is worth it to get the cheaper aftermarket ones from ProCivic when they restock or get the OEM ones put on.

Thanks!
The weathertech visors work real well. Cost is $100. They fit in the window Channel. None of the stick on stuff.

I may have just received a faulty product, as a few others here have ordered from ProCivic, but they look fine.

Right out the box, my visors had a plastic film that was peeling from the edges as well as what seemed like a clear coat?? peeling from every chrome panel. Not only that, but the edging on the chrome trim had to be superglued back on the corners as during highway speeds they became undone and bent backwards, resulting in the huge bend dent I have on one side.

Like I said, I may have just received a fault product that was overlooked during shipment, but if that’s a risk you’re willing to take, they still look great from a distance.

The plastic film is for protection during install. It's meant to be pulled off once they are put on! Sorry about your troubles.

Mugen makes visors for 18 civic SI sedan?
Web site please...
My bad. I missed the sedan part. They only make them for the hatch. If you have a sedan, I would go with the OEM Honda ones for best quality. There are many copies out there, but they never last very long and the plastics are super flimsy.
