i wonder what age group the majority of these NO voters are in.
personally, i like them, especially the ones with lights, but then again, it could be a fact i drove trucks for several years, all my rigs had them from the factory, i just like the look.

I like them as well, different strokes for different folks.
The panel adhesives are stupid strong! The door hinges on 88 and up trucks are glued onto the cab.

I like em on our rigs.. I think they add to the lines of square body GM's...

I'm 31 (for age reference). I used to like the looks of visors BUT, not so much anymore. I just don't think they are worth the trouble, whether ya mount them with bolts or adhesive (IMHO).
There are a lot of vehicular add-ons that I used to like but, the older I get, the more I like the simple clean lines of a minimalist approach. So, I guess I am biased against the visor idea.

28
and tho I wouldn't spend the money it takes, I liked shaved trucks and old cars.
so maybe that's why I don't like the visor
also my entire front window is tinted on the DD, shhh

My 77 had one when i got it. I left it on there, and it kinda grew on me... Would I ever go through the trouble to put one on? absolutely not lol.
Tie Breaker........ NO!
If you're going to install a visor go all the way, and that means pink or purple shock boots, chrome shocks (at least 2 per corner) and a row of KC Daylighters (with smilie face covers) across the roof.
The 80's are over man, sorry you missed it but it's time to move on.

but he looks to have ground hawgs, which would cancel out the smilie faces... Hes covered
You sure you're not stretching it just a little bit?
I hear 1-2 all the time. I think that's an impressive gain all by itself. Well worth taking mine off but 3-4 seems like alot.
NO!
From an aerodynamics standpoint alone they're just an efficiency killer on an already aerodynamically challenged vehicle.
I'm the same age and yep, same way. Ten years ago I spent all kinds of money on bolt on appearance crap that did nothing other than suck up my money and add weight. Now I prefer a much more simple, stockish look. Hell, I remove body, not add crap too it.
Well, can't say on a K5 but I had a friend with a late 80's S10 2wd who put one of those on and lost at least 3mpg right off the bat. Said it also felt like he had a sail up there. Took it off and all returned to normal.
