Hey guy just installed a roof rack on the E with a few mods that i did not list last time i posted here. Now included are Hood and window Visors, thule wind deflector, front tints, and a new Valor head unit with DVD and back up camera.
let me know what you guys think.8-)

Looks awesome. What % did you go on the tint?

Looks beautiful, congrats.

What are your thoughts on the Valor and the backup camera?

The tints are 30% i believe. The back up camera works well, even at night.

that looks great, and the tint looks like what is on my front window's it is 30%
:D

Looks good, I like that Satin Silver color too:)

everything looks cool but are you looking into someone making you a little filler piece for the stereo? Im sure there isnt one already made but it shouldn't be difficult to get someone to make you something. I like the side visors I might have to pick up a set of those :shock:

I second the idea of a custom bezel to close the gap around the HU

i usually dont like the window visors on the side but they look tucked in.. NICE! i really like the look of them on the E, i might pick me up a set as well. :D

I was looking at the OEM window vent visors and the pictures from honda make them look like they attach to the outter part of the window on the paint...these look like they sit inside the weather stripping. Can anyone confirm do the OEM one look like the ones above? Where did you order these if you don't mind me asking. I did a google search and found them a few places, but a reccomendation is always nice. :cool:

yeah the Visors i got at http://www.autopartswarehouse.com Yeah the visors are tucked right in, easy to install too, looks clean. The roof rack took me 30 min. to install. Also if you noticed in the reflection of the window(its covered by a towel), i got a roof basket ready for camping trips. Im sure my dog and girlfriend would enjoy the E much more now. Oh yeah as for the gaps in the head unit, im in the process of making one to fill in those gaps. I will post some pics when theyre done. Im really liking how my E looks now.

I just ordered some of the vent visors based on your pics. I did a lot of searching and while I would normally pick an OEM anything over aftermarket given a choice, these just look better and most likely have the same functionality (plus cheaper!)

everything looks great minus the head unit. don't know if it's the angle or what, but the gaps are horrible.

I Think It Looks Great, I Looked At The Silver When I Got Mine, But I Went With The Rbm. Looks Like You Could Put Some Color Graphics On It And It Would Look Even Better. What Holds The Lund Bug Deflector On, Or How Is It Mounted? How Wide A Range Do You Get From The Back-up Cam?

How did you get those fog lights there ? :rolleyes:

I think your E is one of the nicest looking, i love the uniform color--it looks so sleek and sporty

Thats a sweet looking ride you got there. Lovin all that you have done.

How did you get those fog lights there ? :rolleyes:

Those are not fog lights, theyre my bike handles, it just got in the way of the pic.

How do you like the racks? Is there more wind noise? Also, can you tell me where you purchased your rack setup and the cost? I have an 06 and need some racks and a roof top box.

Thanks,

Jason

They are stock roof racks i got from e-bay. The windshield is from Thule they really help with wind noise, i hardly get any wind noise at all, cant even tell there's racks are there when im on the freeway. They cost about $60.00. The roof top box cost about 150.00 it was from my Altima, i purchased the roof box 2 years ago and used it to haul my stuff from New York. Did a cross-country drive with it on and the Thule shield was awesome, kept the ride quite.

Can anyone tell me which exact parts i would need to set up the Thule shiled like Elcidro? It's a bit confusing to understand on Thule's website. And what price is it usually, some on the page says $62, some say $75..on the same page.


Please help! I'm really looking forward to adding this to my E. Pleas & thanks.
