custom hatch vent visors

[ghettogeddy]

so after seeing cody jdms beautiful oem window visors for his hatch i decided to take the full plung into not selling my aftermarket ones and cutting them up ti fit my hatch



fist i mocked them up then drew a line

then just started cutting away lol was real easy with a pair of dikes

lil bit of jb weld and they were one lol






now i just have to figure out how to make thm look smoother
i dont care if i have to pant them
i was actually thinking
of using some waterproof putty and flatting them out
then just painting them my fave color satin black
or white lol

[evil88accordLX]

you could try to fill the seam with glazing & spot putty, then sand the whole thing smooth.

[codyJDM]

Thats what up man! Look sexy can't wait to see them finished

[MessyHonda]

not bad

[Dr_Snooz]

Looks good man! I'd probably try to shave that seam with a utility knife and then hit it with some sandpaper. Bondo might work well filling in depressions. You should be able to clean it up real nice.

u should measure a 4th gen accord coupe window maybe there about the same size? and u can get them for pretty cheep too

Go to the autoparts store and find yourself an epoxy tube that says either plastic weld or only for plastics. It bonds plastics as if thery were one and you can use it to make mold parts.


I made a whole bunch of stuff that way.

ok does your 87 have the early doors without the seatbelts attached? the later doors are a litttle bit longer,but could be workable. the split was in mid 87,the doors changed. please post pictures of yours so we can see how close they are. you may have solved our vent visor problem for good.

ty i still need to re spray the headlight eyebrows and the trim
and the upper trim needs a coat or 4 of some satin black

how much longer we talking like a inch or so

[lostforawhile]

how much longer we talking like a inch or so

not sure but the trims on the door edges are different, I think it might be a half inch or so, i have an 89 lxi door here somewhere but it's pretty bent from when i pushed it out of the loft.

[frantik]

cool idea but i don't like the way it came out

[VIPER1988]

here we go




1/4 inch longer would have been nice, but, close enough. i think if you get them for an 86 rolla they might be a bit longer but not sure

[ghettogeddy]

can you do me a favor and measure from the corner of the mirror to the corner of the door window on the bottom

on the frame of the window on the lxi doors? or the dx doors? the lxi are behind my shop and i will have to pull one out. they also don't have mirrors on them.

[ghettogeddy]
