   there are ones that say to put them on the inside, to keep things as legal as poss. Some are even faded on bottom, to allow light through.
   What type of one is it you have?

    most arent bothered but some are picky and cops can check them too so just beware, as said a tinted bit on the inside looks better

    I'm having a plain black sunstrip fitted to my car (because I have no interior or headlining with sunvisors!)

    i will let you off then for 2 reasons.
    
    1. yours will serve a purpose
    
    2. i am a tad fragile today and dont fancy a head shake

    agree that most of the time they look abit gash, tho they can be helpful when the sun is shinning through the gap inbetween the to visors, and as saxo180 said, if your car is stripped propperly, then they are there instead of visors.
