Maybe you should reverse them so that when they are down they are readable..? looks good!

the other side of the visor is a fuzzy material so I cant paint anything on it. I want to get an embroidered patch for that side though. The pink thing is actually red, it's a cell holder.

How about reverse them and invert them so that they're readable from the front of the car? Perhaps a mirror image so that jerkasses in front of you can read it in their mirror (old school ambulance style)?

Other than that, they look good!:thumbup:

I'm not feeling it, but it's your car. Good clean install though.

PS your rear view mirror needs to be cleaned.

Print out a honda decal off the net, tape the best sized one to a piece of cardboard then cut out the letters with a razorblade. After painting the visor black, tape the honda stencil to the visor, blocking off everything I didnt want painted tan, and spray a few coats. Take off the stencil and wait for the lettering to dry then tape the letters you cut out on to the visor and respray black. This is done to define the messy edges from any overspray. Thats the way I did it. I figured out that if you print out the honda decal onto sticker paper it will be easier to get good clear lettering the first time and not have to redefine the lettering edges the second time.
