No, you don't pull anything off. The clips go underneath the metal trim & you need to use double sided tape along the entire top mounting portion.

DO NOT PAINT THEM! That is how they are, even new they are supposed to be that way! Double sided(the good 3m shit) tape and the clips, stick em on.

it should have hardware that comes with it along with intructions... i think i still have pics of the install when i ordered them in a while back but it may be on my other computer.

but when i ordered them they only come with hardware the s14 ones are 3m tape but not the 180sx ones, they dont specify it in the intructions that they come with the window visors.

True, but that's only new ones...used ones won't have the instruction sheet obviously. I do have a copy of the sheet from the last set I bought, if I can find it, I'll take a picture of it for reference (no scanner here) & post it up here.

Question. Why won't these fit on coupes? The doors are the same so wouldn't the roof line be the same up to that point?

yeah roof line does not match up in terms of length and a bend at the end.

these are not door install ones...these install into the channel above the door.

I took the pictures for a customer... I dont like hatches anymore so I dont want these/need them

I am looking for a set of CF ones, If I find some for a good price, I may hook some people up here. My stock ones are jacked. The clips keep coming loose and or coming off on the Expressway. I have this annoying bangin noise when I start hitting about 100...drives me crazy, i would take them off entirely but there is a discoloration under them. The CF ones are traight up doublesided stickey...I will let you all know.

Damn! I used to have a link to the CF visors...a little bit expensive if I recall. I think our boy Koops might know the company. The stock ones are purple right out of the box, they just get lighter as the sun fades them. You can re-bend the little metal tabs OR put a small dab of clear silicone on them to keep them from unseating themselves & popping loose.
