    I'm interested. You probably saw my weather techs at the meet LOL!

    I'm not all too satisfied with it to be honest.

    I see that I'm kind of late for this, but if there's still enough people to get a group buy going I should be interested as long as shipping isn't too much extra.

    I think the prius is pretty cool. But Toyota is more original. Totally awesome!

    according to members here, my nigel code expired. i prefer the "toyota" one since it has the brackets for inline channel. the "prius" one seems to be the attached by the 3m tape. correct me if i'm wrong. the problem with the stick on version is that they can fall off. ive seen a member's bp with 3 out of the 4.

    I'd get the jdm(Toyota) over the Prius. Now that I know they don't clip. Yup...Toyota has my vote!! I just don't have money to give them..=[

    I'm still waiting on my order from Sigma. OPs write up and pics sold me on them. Hope they get here soon. It's been 4 weeks already but I'm sure they're worth the wait.

    It's definitely worth the wait. :)

    You should first test fit and test position exactly where you want to line up the visors on the door frame. Take your time in figuring out the right position you want to place them before pulling off the tape backing.

    Once you pull off that tape backing, and it contacts the window frame, it's very difficult to re-position the visor. You want to make sure you are accurate in laying down the visor.

    Start installing by placing one end down first while bowing out the other end away from the frame. Slowly work the visor onto the window frame till you get to the other end.

    I'm sad that I had to pull the visors off my car 2 weeks after I installed them. Now I need to clean off and re-place the 3M tape before I install them on the new car.
