Default **Official I GOT my AVS seamless Ventvisors!!!**

Well, After seeing the alternative to JDM visors I decided to pick up a set of AVS visors, which are almost identical to OEM.
If I can part with $300 for OEM I would, but it kinda seems ridicously expensive. For 1/3 the cost shipped I couldnt be happier and my wallet is not empty. Money saved for other mods :P . Well if you got them Post PICs!!! heres mine
OEM seems smaller and flow more in the rear.
*note sorry for the crappy phone pics* but u get the point












edit: some additional images.

Nice! Those do look just like OEM's. It looks like I will start seeing more and more on the streets soon.

Looks great! This is a good alternative to the JDM. However the rear visor ends somewhat abruptly. It doesn't flow as well as the JDM.

Looks great. AVS is a good brand. My Pop's Tacoma has an AVS deflector. It's rock solid, 2 yrs & counting. Where did you buy these How does it compare to OEM?

I agree the rear doenst flow as nicely, but at less than 1/3 the cost I have no complains

iialcii, do you mind taking a picture of your car from a distance? Curious on how it looks on black 2IS .

Also noticed that the front where it finishes off, is a lot thicker/wider than JDM ones..

Thnx!

there is a group buy going on in the venders section for 123 shipped. I bought mine through the Live.com search for 125 shipped- 30% off. Its listed on ebay. U can do the math.

I'll take pics tomorrow, sorry my point and shoot is broken, no SLR, so crappy phone pics to follow.

AVS are thicker not by much, the rear on the OEM is nicer, more smooth, but for what I paid. Im happy. I cant seem to part 300 just for Visors for looks, if the price drops maybe in the future ill get JDM ones.
