Hey guys. Couple weeks ago I was looking for a solution for my sunvisor-less interior after having factory cage installed. I decided to order windshield visor strip from Kyle at KI Studios http://www.porschestripes.com/decals.html to help block out the sun on the track. I have to say these windshield visor strip works great and the glare from the sun did not bother me once at Laguna Seca.

These windshield visor strips can be ordered with whatever graphic you desire. You can even have it say "sugar mama bought me RS" lol. Best of all it's very reasonably priced at $38

It is easily applied. The black strip and the letter come separately. Put couple drops of dish soap in a spray bottle and fill it up. Clean your windshield well first then spray the solution on the windshield and the back side of the visor tape. Apply it on the windshield and make sure it is even on both ends and cut off the excess at each ends with a scissor. You will have about 2 inches of space at each end from the top of the windshield to the black visor strip since windshield is curved. Gently squeegee out the excess soap solution from center and out. Wait about 1 hour then you can peel off the cover backing and ready for your letter or graphic

Do spray the back side of the letter with soap solution before apply on the black visor strip. I made the mistake of applying it dry and had to peel it off from the black strip - caused some lifting and bubble under the black strip. Squeegee out the soap solution, wait 1/2 to 1 hour then peel off the cover backing and you are good to go.



Here is what it looks like right after install. I also order car number with the factory Porsche design on the door. These car number tape are applied dry - super easy to install



What it looks like on the track





Action view from inside ... looks fantastic while chasing down a 2011 RS

 

the decal looked really nice in person. the interior (or the lack thereof) turned out great too!

 

Looks great!

 

You are hard core sir. Also curious, how many track days you have on the PCCBs? I don't see myself getting a car with PCCBs in the future, but if I found one for a good price that happened to have them, just wondering how long they'll last on the track...

 

Thanks Edwin ... now we just need to strip your M3

PCCB is long gone. It's worthless on the track my friend. I fade out PCCB after just 3-4 laps at Laguna Seca with the most aggressive Porsche motorsport green pads. They are worthless IMHO and not a solid ceramic disc. PCCB is only a thin laminated ceramic sheet bound to a substrate on the back. Once you wear out the laminated ceramic sheet then your PCCB is done

 

Cool thanks for the info. I saw your yellow calipers and assumed you were still running them. Didn't know you could use those calipers with regular steel rotors (shows what I know...).

 

Looks great, does yours block out the sun completely (opaque), or is it translucent?

 

My understanding is that when the PCCB rotors wear out, you replace them with GT3 Cup rotors. The Cup rotor is supposed to accept the PCCB caliper. Is that right?

 

thanks for sharing - been thinking about this for a street car.

 

Does the black strip stick to the outside or inside? If outside, it doesn't interfere with your windshield wipers? Wouldn't it wear out part of the rubber after repeated swipes?

 

how did the car feel without the extra weight??

 

It's opaque

Yup, you got it

You can use it for street or track

It's outside of the window ... not planning on drivin in the rain much. It is suppose to hold up against windshield wiper

3080 lbs 1/2 tank. Feels great!

 

Does the visor strip cover the rain sensor and if so does it interfere with it?

Thanks!
Ashley

 

Looks nice.

 

I think it's the temperature sensor you are referring to. It cover 1/2 of the sensor and temperature reading still works
