Post up your pictures if you have removed your sunvisors.

For those that have done it...do you ever regret it?

Don't understand why you would not want them? I did pull the death warnings off of them but will keep the visors.

I would never want to take them off of mine! The sun is too bright going in certain directions.

I had mine re-done in leather and removed the vanity mirrors, but I'm not sure how it would look with them gone.

I pulled the "Death Warning" stickers off mine and kept the visors on, use them way too much to take them off.

You would be surprised at how much more open sky you can see with the visors off. I took mine off because the mirrors were falling out and hanging by a thread. Much better without them IMO.

Sun? What is that, we rarely see it here in Hawaii.

I guess I am asking out of curiousity of what the look is like with out them. I use mine for my sun visor I put in the windshield, but I do that more for protecting the dash from cracking then keeping the car cooler.

No worries, if no one has pictures.

I use mine too often to take them off - hate the sun shining directly into my eyes when driving.
