Replacement sun visors.

I have spray painted over the stupid yellow airbag warning stickers on my sun visors on my four turbos (2003, 2005, 2008, 2011) . I don't need $1000 leather sun visors - the cheesy vinyl is fine as long as there is no yellow stickers

[quote=SuncoastRyan;3260134]Bingo! "must have" options after you receive your car..


That's what I figured. Based on what I see posted here the most, I would say clear corners and a lowering kit are "must haves". The first thing everyone writes when someone posts a picture of a new car is, "Now lower that thing and put some clear corners on it.".

The other thing I see mentioned a lot is an exhaust. Look at everyone's sig and pictures...exhaust, supsension, clear corners...

Wheels might be another, but most say to lower it first. So I would put suspension before those in the list of three.

+2+ for leather sun visors. WTF, they sell you a car with a full leather interior and a alcantara headliner and then supply you with vinyl sun visors? I don't even think KIA offers vinyl sun visors...they are at least covered with interior matched material.

Don't spray - the stickers can be removed very easily with alcohol and Goo Gone - I've done it 3 P-cars so far.

Hey Ryan,

Can you pm me the pricing on the GT2 RS rear CF intakes - this would fit a 997 TTS ?

Cheers,

Huh... I never even noticed what my visors were made out of. I'm going to go check now and prepare myself to be pissed off!

Ryan, I was just on your site. For OEM factory pieces, how about:

1. Latest version of coil packs
2. Mobil 1 Delvac or Shell Transaxle fluid at a reasonable price
3. Pentosin CHF11S at a reasonable price

How about custom/replacement bezel/trim for the A/C and around the radio in different colors? I know you have the kit for the aftermarket radio, but to be able to get it in the color of your exterior/choice would be neat. This may not be worth your time from a business perspective, but thought I would throw it out there.
