Default Window Visor Help

Hey guys I been trying to find some JDM style window visors. I know that Nigel sells them. But at that price point it seems very high. I been searching the forum if there is any replicas that get the same job done. If you guys can help with a website or eBay link. Please post it. If there is none then I will have to stick with Nigel's.

Are those AVS visors the same Style as the JDM Nigel ones. I like that flush style visor. I don't want them to flare out. I can't really tell on the pic from the AVS ones

the AVS ones arent as smooth flowing as the JDM ones. mainly in the rear windows, they kinda flatten down instead of having a nice even curve from the window glass. you can see the difference in pics definitely.

Ive had the AVS visors and they are nothing like JDM ones. They are bulky and do not flow as smooth.

Weather tech also makes visors but those are even bulkier

AVS is the closest you'll get to JDM. Side by side you can tell the higher quality and Fitment of the JDM.

It'd be nice to see some Pics of AVS up close and maybe if someone has some nice pics of the JDM ones that'd be also good.

Been thinkin bout getting some JDM personally but they're expensive... gotta pay to play tho...

I have AVS on mine now and they sit clean...3 of my boys have JDM and they tell me all the time they should've saved themselves $200+ if they knew AVS would look that clean

here are some close up pics I took when I installed my AVS visors. I'm happy with them and I couldn't justify $400 for 4 pieces of plastic.
