My new VIP Euro project

I've had mine since Thanksgiving after flipping my MKV VW GLI. Only mods I've done so far are the EDM window visors, tint, and 6k HIDs. Looking into wheels and suspension next. I believe I am the first to have the wind deflectors in the states, one of the few things I wanted to achieve a VIP look for my car. Hopefully I'll be able to start prepping my trunk sometime this week to fiberglass 2 12's and an amp after school.

This is when it was delivered:

The deflectors have a thin profile and don't stick out like cheap tape on kinds.

To show the visors blue smoke tint, looks darker in pictures.


I really hate dark tint and thought this was perfect. Once again it looks a lot darker in the pictures, you can see everything clearly at night.

The window visors make any car look cheap (IMHO), but if you like it thats all that matters.
Also in the first pic the car in the right is a Ford GT correct?

Never really understood why people thought window visors look good.

Should be interesting to see a VIP W204 though! What wheels are you planning on getting?

I thought people used visors to prevent rain from getting inside, not for looks. If it is for practical reasons than that's fine, but I never liked the look of them.

The window visors don't look good not but I bet they will look good after you get some rims. I've seen them on a w203 and they look good. In fact, i just bought some as well. What kind of rims were you looking into?

Different strokes for different folks. Whatever makes you tick, go for it!
As for me, I'll pass because my windows are always rolled up and aircon on.

Haha, dang. Coming from the import scene where most luxury imports would be rockin the visors, I didn't think it would stir up this much hate. I'm looking into buying a set of Work Equips.

No hate. I'm from the import scene too and the visors look good on certain cars but the W204 isn't one of them. It just looks a little out of place especially the rear piece.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product though.

Is not about hate, is just about differences on taste and your car looks unique.
