    No Chinese ebay shit on my Jap car, thank you very much.

    Though really, only use OEM spec parts.

    As much as I'm sure that starter is great, you can rebuild your current starter for $10 as another option as well. :thumbsup:

    IMO the visor seems to lean a little more towards asthetic vs functionality. I suppose I'll get a little more shade in certain hours of the day, and the visor lights will make it easier to see me at night. To be honest though, I think it looks pretty tit....so idc if people are ragging on me!

    I was happy it came with it, not something I would have purchased myself.

    Eyebrows definitely help, pretty much render my visors useless but don't have to worry about the sun when I'm heading to work

    The usual starting points are:

    1. Clean your MAF
    2. Clean your throttle body
    3. Change spark plugs
    4. Change spark plug wires.

    But there's a lot more to potential bad mpgs.

    How many miles on your truck?
    What type of mpg are you getting?
    What's your driving style/habits and commute like?

    nobody is making fun of you we all liked it. I had an eyebrow on a 1955 chevy truck and loved it, never needed sun visors, also keeps A LOT of rain off the windshield.
