Does installing the visor require drilling holes anywhere?

There are 2 different types
1 is the Sun visor, it is more square lines and does not come with lights built in.

the 2nd one is a Moon visor, it is more rounded lines and comes with the integrated lights.

I have the Sun Visor as i could not afford the extra $40 light package at the time.


They come with self taping screws. i did pre drill some small holes. And it does reduce how much sun enters the cab.

If you have any questions, PM me

Only downside is your fuel consumption is going to go up up up...lol
personally if I was to get one i'd probably go with the moonvisor with the lights FWIW...

hmmwv15: No, i have had no leaks at all. and i have had it for a few months now.

SpecialScottie: There is no proof to back up Aviator's statement. I have had no decrease in fuel economy, nor have i had any wind resistance at 80MPH on the highway. I noticed 0 (ZERO) peddle resistance or Accleration decrease when I installed it. They are designed to be wind tunnel friendly and i have had no change in anything but reduced sun in the cab and a sweeter look.

My comment was based on reports from people I talked to with them installed on various vehicles who noticed their fuel consumption had increased compared to pre-install. Yes the visors are wind-tunnel tested and so forth, but remember everything you add to the outside of the vehicle is going to affect wind resistance.

Well, maybe my 4Runner has the best running 3.0L V6 in the world, cause i noticed absolutly no change either increase or decrease. So it is possible that if you engine is crap and if you have a million other things on the exterior of your vehicle your fuel economy COULD go up. But mine did not.
