Beside the Toyota Logo and clips is there another way of of checking?

Are these a Toyota Manufactured product or subbed out to another company for Toyota?

I just got my Visors from NIGEL, and i just thought they would come on a Toyota package and or Toyota instructions. The packaging looked like my eBay visors..

I don't remember the box that mine came in (although I'm fairly sure it WAS a Toyota marked box). However, the visor wrapping had the Toyota part # sticker on them along with the instructions having the Toyota logo on them; and of course they visors should say Toyota as well.

Mine had all those things missing except the Toyota logo on the visor

Damn bro, not sure what to say... but I don't think Nigel sells non-authentic parts either. If you have someone else around with the visors, it might be easiest to just check and compare between them. Worst case, contact Nigel and ask for a proper replacement if they're not actually the parts you paid for.

Your right, i don't think NIGEL would do something like that do to his good rep, i ordered from him before, so no issues,
However, i just thought the Visors would come in Authentic Toyota sealed packaging or labels..

Just looking for some feedback from people who might have just recently purchased them like Me.

you could never tell now a days with Replicas..

I bought mine about 2yrs. ago from him and I remember they came wrapped in sealed toyota packaging with instructions. Not to mention the logo stamped on them, that's why we spent the money for these right...
I would definitely call him if I was you, he's probably not aware that the logo is missing.

The LOGO is there.. Just getting some feedback on Packaging.. It could just be that the original stickers and packaging was removed for easy shipping..thats what im thinking. I looked at some pics online and they look like its just missing the original Toyota packaging, if there ever was a thing..

thanks for responding
