WRX Rainguards? part 1

amelnikov 02-27-2002 04:40 PM

To All Vendors/ WRX Rainguards?!
 
Does any vendor out there offer rainguards for WRX? Like the ones available from Subaru Japan?
Here is the picture.

i got mine from a UK dealer who is a i-clubber, jim childs. i placed the order and got it in a week.

fyi, they call it side visors (part # E33610FE000 for 4 dr and E3510FE010 for 5dr)
korpse 02-27-2002 08:14 PM

how do they install?
ChuckCheeze 02-27-2002 09:15 PM

installs in <20 mins

it has tape on the backside to stick onto the roof

the only issue i had was pulling the molding out very slowly, not to rip it. then there are about 6 clips that hold it in place.

i have the install instructions scanned in. i just need a place to post or i can email them to you.
jimhoyd 02-28-2002 12:02 AM

could you mail me the instructions too.. Thanks

i'd also be interested in a set of these if any of you vendors are thinking about stocking the item.
amelnikov 02-28-2002 11:49 AM

Any dealers? Com' on guys, we have the money, bring us the product!

Alex...:devil:
Boss 02-28-2002 04:38 PM

Yep, I'd buy them too!
Hazdaz 02-28-2002 06:33 PM

I'd buy them also...

CHUCKCHEEZE: By any chance, do you have close-up pics of your car with the visor on it (the one already posted is tiny)? Also, roughly how much did you spend?
amelnikov 02-28-2002 08:11 PM

I think Adam from Z1Performance can get them, how about we drop him a line and start a group buy?

Alex...
jimhoyd 02-28-2002 08:14 PM

yes yes... buy buy buy.. ha ha ha
MackDaddy 03-01-2002 07:03 AM

I'm down for a GB if it happens. I'd also like the instructions for the Japan spec units as well, please? :D

Thanks - Jim
Hazdaz 03-01-2002 07:54 AM

So then hows a group-buy work? I have bought things online many of times, but never from anyone on this site or through a GB. How's it set up? And once agian, i would like to know how much $ it would be and also if anyone has better/bigger pix of one installed on their car.
jim childs 03-01-2002 12:44 PM

Rainguards and whatever you want!!!
 
Hi Guys,

Just noticed Chucks post about the rain guards.

I can supply these.
Just e-mail me [email][email protected][/email]

Just mail me your address.

Many thanks

Jim:D :D :D

frontmost clips
ChuckCheeze 03-01-2002 06:00 PM

other clips for front, no pics of clips for the rear, but you guys get the idea
Hazdaz 03-01-2002 06:49 PM

GREAT pix - thanks ALOT.
I think i like it more than I would. My old car had those wind-visors (but the windows had frames), but I fealt that the visors blocks a lot of vision out (it basically made the A-pillars look ALOT wider, since you really can't see thru the wind-visor). I was saying that I would not get them for my new car. But after seeing these, I think I have changed my mind.
It looks like THSE do not have that problem of the old ones - they look slimmer (I hope).
CHUCKCHEEZE - have you noticed a decrease in wind-noise?
ChuckCheeze 03-01-2002 06:54 PM

hazdaz....i will take pics from the inside. there is almost no overhang.

windnoise...i notice little windnoise when on the highway. i didnt notice a decrease, just a slight increase.
MackDaddy 03-01-2002 09:44 PM

Great pics Chuck. Thanks alot. Look like very nice units... :)
YnGrsHpr 03-01-2002 10:23 PM

That looks cool but it looks like one piece. How is it with opening the doors? Do they get in the way? Thanks.
ChuckCheeze 03-01-2002 11:21 PM

there is about 1/2" clearance between the visors and the windows. i will try to get pics of that too soon.
ChuckCheeze 03-02-2002 06:54 AM

i tried to get a pic of the slight overhang, but the overhang is only there if you put your face 4-6 inches from the window

here is the clearance from the windows
ChuckCheeze 03-02-2002 06:56 AM

visor install clips
Hazdaz 03-02-2002 10:27 AM

CHUCKCHEEZE:... Damn, u gotta wash that car, dude :lol:
.... is that road-salt all over it?

Anyways, thanks again for more pix.

So anyone else do one of them group-buy deals or am I buying one on my own?
Boss 03-02-2002 12:46 PM

That looks like frost on his car. But I hope there is a group buy caude $169 is a bit much.
amelnikov 03-02-2002 12:56 PM

So, we have what looks like a lot of people, lets contact some vendors and get a group buy going. Is anybody in the process? I will call Z1Performance on Monday if nobody gets anything going before then.

How much is it to including shipping to Canada?
MackDaddy 03-02-2002 04:16 PM

Here's a price straight from [url]http://www.acekensington.co.uk/sales/subaru.htm[/url]


E3610FE010 ROOF/SIDE VISOR - 5 DOOR 69.95 (pounds.) Which equates to $99.25 US. This is of course before shipping.

I'm down for a GB at this price or less.

Jim

PS - FYI E3610FE000 ROOF/SIDE VISOR - 4 DOOR 69.95
armand1 03-02-2002 05:42 PM

I'm interested under US$100. Here are a couple of things which may help:
(From the site: [url]http://www.investuk-usa.com/faq/xq/asp/SarticleType.7/Other_ID.137/qx/other_show.htm[/url])
[QUOTE]VAT on goods and Services - Exports
No VAT or Customs duties are charged on goods exported. [/QUOTE]

(From the site: [url]http://www.subaru.co.uk/mshow/accesslist.htm[/url])
E3610FE000 ROOF / SIDE VISOR - SALOON
59.53 10.42 69.95 [base price, VAT, total]

E3610FE010 ROOF / SIDE VISOR - 5 DOOR
59.53 10.42 69.95 [base price, VAT, total]


So, in theory, MSRP to ship to the US or Canada is 59.53 British pounds + shipping.
02GatorWRX 03-03-2002 01:23 AM

Bring these on!!
 
I would like to have these also.. Who will start the group buy on these?
nqwan 03-03-2002 11:50 AM

jim childs quoted me $169 shipped :eek:
Hazdaz 03-03-2002 02:52 PM

OK, it was kinda rainy the last 2 days, and the more I think about it, is this rain-guard thing really that useful? My Primary reason for getting one would be for wind-noise (I like to drive with the window cracked open, even when on the HW), and my secondary reason would be for rain. Now, CHUCK CHEEZE said that there was actually a slight increasse in wind-noise :(

For the right price I would buy it, but I'm having second thoughts espesially since I noticed that not alot of rain came into the car normally with the window cracked. If theres going to be a GB, how's it set up? Lookin to hear what the GB price might be, and then i'll decide.
ChuckCheeze 03-03-2002 04:10 PM

windnoise
 
i only notice the noise when the windows are all closed and driving on the highway. it is just white noise. i have tuned it out already.:p

but once the windows are open, no noise.
MackDaddy 03-03-2002 05:00 PM

From a dealer????

What's up with that? For that price, I'll live with the way it is, thanks.

So should I guess that the excitement of doing a GB on this has died or what? :(
amelnikov 03-07-2002 02:09 AM
