    Default 1988 suburban visor- you opinion

    I got a Lund fiberglass visor for the windshield (non-lighted) and ive always like the look of them on box bodied chevys and fords.

    i am just wondering if i should go ahead and make $$ off it or install it? they are frowned upon it seems by a lot of people just wodering if 12 holes is worth it?lol

    i got some clear lens LED 5 peice cab roof lights im installing anyway so either itll be lights on factory location on roof w/o visor or install the visor with lights mounted to the visor? what would you do?

    also anyone whos had one please give info such as MPG changes, noise, paint chipping from branches???ect ect

    hERE IS A PIC OF THE ROOF LIGHTS



    AND THE VISOR

    Never had one, but I have always liked the looks of them. I have talked with a couple people that have had them and the only thing they mentioned was a little bit of wind noise. I know, this doesn't help, sorry!

    OK, since you asked....I had one on my truck in 1981..... styling wise....it's very 80's. They are no longer considered "stylish". In my opinion.

    Sorry but I figured you'd want every opinion. Now...the 1 ton lights on the roof...I personally like those. I think they're cool.

    I have a lighted one on my Burb. I bought it with it on and I also had one on my Bronco. I like it.
    I'll post pics later.

    What are they for? I have seen a couple, but it's been YEARS. Cutting down on glare?

    Ive never been a fan of them, but IMHO, to each his own. If you like it, put it on.

    I had one on a 78 bronco. it did cut glare a little and I like they way it looked.

    it did cost me around 1-1.5 mpg...and when your getting 10 that sucked.
