Project Bluebird: 2014 Metallic Peacock Nissan Note

exactly what i was thinking, give it more of a clean look up front and then finish off the windows with Autech visors...just cant believe how expensive they are though for the visors...$450 for the autech visors without freight charges

Good plan!

Drop/wheels/tint will make a big difference. That spoiler extension looks cool too

for $50

damn, didnt know the mugen visors were that much...oh and i was off on the price, i must have been remembering something else. Just looked up the price for the Autech visors and they go for $260 with a $100 freight charge straight from japan...not to bad, but still kinda pricey. i do agree though the combination of tint/wheels/drop will make this car look a whole lot better than stock

The problem for you is that since the model is so new your are going to end up paying more for your parts since everything for it is also so new.

I will say that now that I have been using the visors for over 6 months they come in really really handy with keeping the sun out of my face. I would completely be willing to pay $200 for them if I had to considering how useful I think they are

believe me im right there with you wais, i've already had quite a few instances where the visors would have come in handy, especially around dawn or sunset when looking for cross traffic just driving around town. dont get me wrong i love the visibility that these hatchbacks offer, it just kinda annoys me having the sun in my eyes lol. im gonna try and get the tint and visors done before it goes back into Tanabe though in march or april
