Exterior Sun Visors

One of the options I like to include on the majority of the quotations I prepare using a commercial cab is an exterior sun visor.   The exterior sun visor can either be polished stainless steel or painted.  The painted sun visor comes painted and installed from the chassis manufacturer to match the color of the chassis cab or in the case of a two tone cab, it usually comes in the same color of the upper portion of the chassis.  That being said, the sun visor can be ordered in any color desired.

Personally, I find this option really dresses up the exterior of the cab.  It is also a fairly inexpensive option when ordered with the chassis.  It is usually priced under $500.00 from the chassis manufacturer.  This comes completely installed, painted, and complete with built in clearance lights in the front face of the visor.



 
The most common statement I hear concerning the exterior sun visors is that most people believe that come with the chassis as a standard.  That is definitely not the case.  If you desire the exterior sun visor, ensure that you let your body builder know prior to ordering the chassis.  You can also review the chassis specifications prior to order, to ensure that it is included.  If you receive the chassis without the sun visor and wish to have one installed after the chassis is received by the body builder, it would be a fairly expensive addition.  The cost of installing the sun visor post receipt of the chassis would be upwards of $1,500.00.  

 

The exterior sun visor is a great option to inexpensively dress up the exterior of the unit.
