Looks good!

How much was the Opti Coat?

Did you strip the black paint from your factory rims and if so, how?

Paint protection so you no longer have to wax. Can also apply it to your rims and lights so water and dirt just slides off. Some people apply it to their windows but it distorts the view slightly so I didn't do it.

Went with Opti-Coat and it’s great. Repels water like crazy, no longer have to go through the process of waxing, just use quick detailer after washing and that’s it.

Door sill protectors to stop scuff marks as they no longer come standard. Got them off eBay. Look like the OEM ones minus the lights and the high cost.

It was pretty easy. It uses the brackets and double sided tape (already applied) to hold them in place.
Putting the retention pins in was the most difficult because of their size, trying to make sure they're in both the visor and bracket while pressing them in, and how hard you need to push (use a small towel to protect you finger).
There aren't any extra pieces either.

All together it took me maybe 30 minutes because I had to double check everything I was doing.

The windows visors from Weather Tech seem like a cleaner design, with no clips and no double tape. Am I right? Any comparison? So far I'm inclined to get the Weather Tech ones. I think they are a bit cheaper as well. I saw them on eBay for $115 for a 3rd Gen.

I just bought these. Haven't installed yet though. They look to fit ok but may need a slight trim at the top.
They were cheap enough so if they don't look good won't be a big loss.
Please take a picture of both the uninstalled product and the installed... I've been eyeing these too. Are the flimsy, will they easily rip, etc

They are flexible but thin firm..not like just tape.. and was a little bit difficult to install the 2 door trims because I had to stick it under the rubber window door seal a little bit.
Other than that I think they look good for $13.
We'll see how long they hold up..

Here are some pics. One showing the difference and the other full install.

Do you have a link to where you bought it?

Thanks!!!

I ordered from Amazon and got it today.
Found out it plugs into the fusebox.
Would of been much easier if it just used the 12v adapter right under it.
I need to figure out which fuse to use now.
Anyone know which fuse is for the current 12v car adapter? Thinking that would be good to use.

If anyone knows please let me know..
Thanks

Well the wireless pad didn't work great. It wouldn't charge any of my phones, and I wasn't thrilled with the fuse box hookup.
But I did like the built in look to it so I took apart my iottie wireless fast charger and retro fitted it (took considerable time) inside this new built in.
I also unplugged the existing 12v adapter and routed it to another 12v adapter I bought and connected it behind the console hidden to the USB power from the retrofitted iottie charger.
Final result is good I think. I just place my phone down and it fast charges wirelessly.
I really like the built in look instead of dealing with wires and phone holders.
Even fits my huge note 9.
