Are you asking about the JDM visors and AVS visors?

The JDM are OEM.

JDM

AVS

I don't know much about visors, but the JDM seems darker and smaller, and fits better.

I believe JDM fits a lot better than the AVS ones. But then again, JDM costs almost 3 times the AVS.

I think there is a thread on this. I have the JDM ones and fitment and looks are top notch. I think AVS are a bit wider.

You kind of have to see them in person to appreciate the difference, but in addition to being a little bit smaller, the JDM visors have some minor trim details that make them look like they belong on the car - there are small rubber trim pieces at the ends, the chrome is better rounded (with the AVS ones it looks like they took a table saw and cut the ends off abrubtly), and the clips are more secure. You also get the "Lexus" stamp on the JDM visors for that extra $200.

^ Check the vendor marketplace. They pop up in the member classifieds (used) fairly often too if you're patient and don't mind second-hand.
