Windshield sun visor

Im looking to get a very cool looking windshield sun visor.. ive noticed that some of yall have em on your rigs.. Ive done some looking,, but which one is gonna look the best and classiest on my black f250? i want that boxy look.. i don think i want the running lights in the visor, because i already have them on my roof.. any links to sweet deals or websites would be fantastic.. or if yall are selling!

This is just my opinion,but I never understood why anyone would put self tapping screws in their roofs. I install autoglass for a living,and I can't tell you how many of these I have taken off with the roof completely rusted out under the visor. Once again,just my .02

I have one on my work truck and on those sunny days i love it, it is a lund. And make sure you install it properly becuase on one of the other work trucks it leaks whenever it rains.

I've installed a few visors over the years that don't require drilling ..I don't recall what brand..Studs are installed with two sided tape ,,surprisingly strong...
This type allowed removal for cleaning ,waxing ,ect...

i have found that a little clear silicone around the holes and on the sunvisor will help seal and cut down on vibrations/noises

My old gasser had a Lund lighted visor and I liked having it on there. They are a PITA come time to repair/replace the windshield though as you have to take it off. Mine only rattled in really bad wind, and like Chris said a little silicone around the mounting screws and leaks are non-existant. Never had a problem with rust either.

i think that i would use some of that 3m double sided foam tape to install one that **** is strong if you try to just yank it off the fiberglass would probably crack before it came off. but it can be removed without leaving holes if you decided you dont want it.
