    "in channel" means the visor is mounted on the inside of where your window fits (when you roll it up and down, the top of the window).

    If it isn't in-channel, the visor mounts to the exterior part of the car. The link you posted is not an in-channel visor since the mounting is actually on the exterior of the car.

    I think it just looks sleeker when it's an in-channel and that's why I'm curious if there is one out there made for the C.

    Ruh Roh. I put a hairdryer to the front fender HYBRID badge to soften the adhesive. As I pulled it off, I saw there were two holes in the fender, corresponding to two tabs on the back of the badge, between the B and R and between the D and symbol. They must be there for badge alignment, as the badge tabs do not have any fastening devices, such as barbs, to hold fast against the inner side of the fender.
    While pulling off the badge, I stretched out the Y, so I now I gotta get a replacement badge.

    I'm ordering a set of these Husky floor mats in black for mine, was on the fence between them and the weathertech but with the greater amount of coverage, I thought I'd go with these. Excited for the rear liner as that middle section is so exposed right now haha Husky WeatherBeater Mats, Husky Liners Weatherbeater Floor Mats

    Born Again - Sounds like you want a Chevy or Ford then.

    I want in no particular order:
    1. Trunk Monkey
    2. Dent proof material (like Saturn used to have)
    3. Roll cage (because this is my mock rally car, lol)
    4. A digital sign for my back windowto let the assh$@# tailgating me that they can suck it

    That's it for now...I'm sure I left one or two things off, but I'm happy with my list.

    I had a Saturn... whenever demonstrating for my friends I had to make sure to use the correct verbage... bad things could result when they tried to prove they could dent it.

    Yes, I had one as well, a blue 92 SL2 four door. Was a good car until I rear ended somone who stopped on the freeway for a dog at 10pm at night as I was coming off an on ramp. Never drove the same after I had it fixed. Never did get a dent in that thing prior to the accident.

    Oooh-oooh, and back on topic:
    #5 - A micro camera like a GoPro for the dashboard. Gotta have the proof if there's any drama or accidents.

    Totally a market for it.. I've also long secretly wished for such a device.

    The Police get one so why can't we? :)

    I always thought it would be great to have, with a selection of preprogrammed erm, comments. I suppose they'd mostly be congratulating the driver behind on their lack of driving skills or that it would be wise to drop back a little.

    I don't know about where you are but here they just have a little LED array between the flashing lights. As my c came with "privacy glass" tint on all the rear windows, I'm actually picturing some kind of system that uses much of the rear window space. In normal conditions people wouldn't see anything askew, but when activated the appropriate message would then come up.

    I've thought about this too much. :unsure:

    • All-Weather Mats rather than the carpeted ones I have now.
    • Sound insulation package.
    • 15 gallon fuel tank (750+ mile range). ;)
    • A cover over the storage area on the dash above the steering wheel.

    Other than that I am very satisfied with my C4.
