Sun visor

I have a problem with my sun visor not coming down far enough to keep the sun out of my eyes. Maybe its because I'm kinda short (5'6"). Does anyone have or know of a sun visor extender that would help to block the sun. I dont have a problem with the sides of the visor, its the bottom of the visor. It just needs to be about an inch lower.

You could always do a tint eyebrow. I have a 5% strip running across the front of my car.
Here's a pic:

I love it and barely use my visors ever now.

I had it done on my previous car and it took care of any sunlight beam that goes to your windshield

Any reason why you didn't do a straight tint and curved it down on the sides?

Sphere effect. If you made it straight it'd probably curve up. So you follow the glass and it curves down.

I suppose a booster seat is out of the question.

You could always fit an external sun visor as shown on the attached taxi.

One of the more charasmatic mods

it's illegal in all 50 states here too... let's just say I got lucky and that Acura dealer didn't realize the gem they had on their lot
I'll have plates on it this week
(gotta love modding a brand new car before you even get plates)
