Yikes, is this from vandalism? Where did this happen, at home or work or parking lot?
Man. That blows. Any idea how it happened?
Kid riding a bike through the parking lot at work crashed into the car. Today I’ll find out about what the school is going to do about it

Overland Designs Hood Visor came today, it hasn't popped out on me yet, so that's a good start. Black top with a red bottom. Red isn't that visible though since the black rim is pretty large.

Sun also popped out for the first time in what feels like weeks, so went out for a short drive; got some ice cream. Snapped this with my iPhone. Car needs a wash though :(

I'd like to know too. Mine was delivered today.
There are no reports for the Overland. I hadn't had much luck with Sweidit's visor hood (all their other parts fit fine). Even after Sweidit rushed a second part, test fit it (on another Civic), and used thinner swede; it just didn't want to stay in. The Overland is a very tight fit, I don't think the front clips are all the way in (like OEM), but it's snug enough where it doesn't pop out, so I'm cool with it (with the visor hoods, even if it seems secure enough, I've learned to doubt that it is from experience). My car has been very finicky to say the least.

Looks good! My visor and shift boot is coming tomorrow. Can't wait to install it.

Nope, it’s locked in tight if you follow my instructions I posted in FK8 Product Review FB group. Give it a good solid, quick pound on the front edge on both sides when installing and will never pop out. Reason being those front clips hook in extremely well. Once in it’s not going anywhere...not to mention Overland Designs used the proper automotive grade alacantara/suede that does not bulk up.

Did you follow my instructions and post in FK8 Product Reviews? The trick is guide the front edge (toward glass) down into the groove while you push stitched edge in.

Yup... still imperfect fit.

Console wings (or whatever these things are officially called) from Sweidit. High quality material, assembly and stitching. The pieces fit perfectly; "install" took all of 2 minutes with a plastic trim tool.

Unlike most people posting here, I had mine done in red/black fake suede with white stitching to match the seats. I also had them use a much smaller stitching than what they normally use in their products to better match the tiny OEM stitching.

I think they came out nicely - makes the interior a little more upscale, coherent and brighter. As their FB page says, $160 + $10 ship (plus $40 if you don't want to exchange the cores). Mine came in exactly 3 weeks. They're a pleasure to deal with. They are on Instagram and FB.

Not cheap but very good value in my opinion.
