2 or 4 curtains?

I have a daily driven 2GS and I'm wondering if 4 would be over the top?
Because i do notice I get a bit of a blindspot to the left and right that way..
The way I have always set my mirrors up is so that you cannot see the body of your car. But I have adjusted the side mirrors so they go perfectly back(perpendicular to the car).. (so you almost have a true 180* view..Worked much better on my Integra but the GS you eliminate almost all of the blindspot..
Should I spring for 4 curtains or just 2 for the rear? I'm not really going for the full Hardcore VIP look either?

I've never seen a car with only 2 on the rears before. just buy 2 for the rear and if you dont like the looks, then buy the other two for the front.

4 looks strange to me. I had 4 before but got into too much trouble with the cops because of them. The blind spots were pretty bad as well. As of now, its 2 in the rear only. I rather have girls in other cars guess whos in the back then guess what the driver looks like :giggity:

I can't even drive straight anymore w/o curtains! I drive worse w/o them!
I've never had problems w/ blind spots!

The NYPD (NEW YORK PRICKS and DICKS) pull them off here. For the cops that don't pull them off, I just tell them that they came with the car and they believe it all the time :pat:

Doesn't make sense since you can have them in vans. What's the difference?

I have the 2 on the rear doors, and I had the small 1/4 window ones made so the rear doors are fully covered, and I have 1 that covers the whole back window, but it's mesh too like the rest of mine and you can *kinda* see out. HAHA!

i suprisingly never had a cop mention my curtains before. i thought they would especially since it blocks them from seeing me when i have my seats leaning back..

but as for curtains i have 4. 2 looks a lil weird although 2 in the rear isnt as bad. but you have to have tint to pull that off.

i just have 2 in the rears. i got them regardless but my local laws say theyre okay as long as they dont impede rear vision. i dont think they give too much hassle with blind spots either when theyre tied back well and hooked onto the pillar. people think theyre standard anyway haha

One of those cars looks just like mine! ;)

2 in the front would be over kill. I think 2 in the rear would be kewl but the 2 in front 2 in rear look good. I think you should do what you like since its going to be your car ur driving in the end =)

For me, I use the front 2 more than the rear two.
It keeps people from seeing me (kinda like tint), also makes people try and see who's behind there....
:shrug:

If you do backs, I say start from the back and not at the A pillar like the rest of us do!
IMO it will look more natural.....

ok if you have them in the front, when do you use them? while driving?

i mean i like the look but when i sit in my chair its kinda far back since im a tall asian and wouldnt you need to move your head and look pass the curtain in front when you are checking to see if someone is besides you when you switch lanes?

also i wanted to know how many people have built there own curtains? buying curtains is nice and easy and you get a simple style but i was looking at team supastars ron's g50 and the curtains that he has in there seem like one he custom did.

i want to know because if you get a chance to custom make your own it gives you a chance to use your choice of fabric and style to hook up your interior...

comments anyone?

I use them everytime I drive! I don't like people staring at me w/ them nor do I like to look at who ever is on the side of me. They give the inside of my car a more luxury/perosnal feel to it.
I've never really had any problems driving w/ them, you jus got to know how to use your mirros and know where cars are......NOT THAT HARD!!!

I agree that custom curtains would be nice and are relativley easy to make, but Garson makes so pretty damn good quality curtains so for me there's no reason to make any.......
