Try Autozone or Advance Auto Parts. One of my friends got them for her Accord. Just go to one of the places, and tell them the model of your car, and get there slack asses to look it up!

i picked mine up from renova. if youre in to getting these i would recommend dealing with them. shoot them an offer.. sometimes they'll knowck a couple bucks off. but if youre set on buying these u wont find much cheaper than 100 bucks.

Renova varies their starting price, sometimes they're only $99. The biggest difference here is that they're brand new in the box, usually the typical ones on Ebay are used and scuffed to hell and still sell for $125-200. I sold a single one that I had for $65 a few weeks ago, so there's definitely a market there. Phase2 has them for $225 new but have limited quantities on hand. I bought mine off YahooJP because they're usually more common and there's less demand, my set was only about $40 and they were also new.

And Autozone won't have them, that's the stupidest comment I've read on here yet. They're an OEM Nissan part made specifically for the home market, no US supplier or aftermarket company makes them at all. Renova is the best bet if you want them.

I have always wondered about these things. Since there is no window frame on S14's these would have to be fixed to the body of the car.

Now I am assuming that the visor is at just enough of an angle/overhang to let the door glass just pass underneath it while opening and closing the doors. Right?

I know logically this must be the case but all the pictures I have seen of them over the past 3 years haven't really clearly shown exactly how the door glass can clear them.


Anyone have a pic of the rofline from back to front to illustrate this?

there is actually 3 little clips that clip onto the rubber on the roof above the window. you will need to use some strong,thin double stick tape also. as far as clearance, no issues at all. one thing that i dont like, is that they can easily be stolen. knock on wood. also, they are great when smoking in the rain, but thats only when the car is moving. when the car is at a stop, the water drips right into the cracked window. kinda like its being poured into it.

Russ can you get any S13s?

Or anyone for that matter. I've looked around lately, S14s can be found but S13s are very rare these days.

Possibly. Chad (the other one) has a set he bought from Jarco already mounted on the trim, he got them for $30 thinking they were for a fastback, he's keeping them in case he buys a coupe one day since they're so rare but I'll tell him you want them and see. I've only seen one other set ever and they sold for over $300.

Cool, let me know. But I can't afford anything close to 300. I've gotta pay that much for alignment and balance in a couple weeks.

unless you need to get a race alignment, just go to sears, $60 with a warranty.

Corner weighted w/ driver weight balanced out, coilovers, adj tension rods, and adj RUCAs. Might as well do it right, sears or nissan would be like "what you have adjustable things, I don't know what to do".

i pay 40 bucks haha to spec my spec what i want exactly.
talk about ass rape 300 ouch!


no corner wieght here but ALL arms (minus FLCA and RLCA) are adjustable
all adjusted for 40 bucks exactly to what i want

corner balance, my friend knew a shop for a 100 bucks to do that.
