If you mean that smaller visor that covers the side while the big one shields the front, then no. Yes, the back seats fold down.

Numbers stop at 120. Has room on the it to climb to 130. Farthest I've taken it is around 119-21...anything past that and I want a stiffer suspension to handle the bumpiness. That and I don't trust the little 14" rubbers. Luckily I'll probably be able to get my wheels in April!

I know I know. I didn't want the OZ (I'm poor, what can I say.) At least I'm upping them up to 17's. Kosei K1 Racing in white...oh baby...wrapped in Paradas...

Think in terms of this: You have a faster car. A better handling car. In some respects a better looking car (I like the new backend of the RS/Rex). Believe me, I'd much rather have all those things than a common offset.
