I dont care what ANYONE says, they are NOT like the JDM visors. Ive seen both in person and they are nothing alike.
The AVS are chunky, bulky, and dont flow with the car IMO. I had them for about 8 months and started to warp after 2. Save your money for the JDM ones or dont get visors at all

wow a lot of bad stories for AVS huh...I've had mine for over 6 months never had any issues with it...quite frankly I love how it looks on my car.i have no issues with the installation, its not as flush as JDM but it's not BULKY as how a lot of yall are making it seem...mine isn't bent or show any warping...and even if it warps one year later I still won't buy JDM visors for $400 especially when 98% of you buy it for looks and not for actual usage....nothing in this world can justify me spending $400 for plastic.
I'm happy with spending $100 for AVS...

I had a set of avs visors on my 08 is250, they sucked! the visors are soo flimsy and mine actually hit the glass when I would roll up the front driver side window. and the chrome accent started peeling on one of them. If I had to do it again I would get the jdm, but I traded in the is and now have a LS460. I bought in channel weathertech ones for the LS and they are good, but I ended up taking them off because they did not allow the window to roll all the way up, causing wind noise. so now ill have to sell them.

I had a lot of people sitting in the back opening/closing the window when I had the warped AVS visor and the it kept hitting the window. The front AVS visor didn't even sit flush with the window trim either. It bothered me so much that I just had to get the overpriced visors.

I use my JDM visors when applicable. I dont think you can "not" use them once installed.
The origional 3M tape that came with my JDM ones peeled off or bent inward like stated above for the AVS look-a-like, so its not fool proof. I had to re-apply them a year later. I have not used the AVS ones but I can tell you the JDM ones look better IMO (trust me, if you can tell which one is JDM and which is AVS, you can tell which one looks better) and seem a lot more durable.

I'm actually the 2% that uses it everyday. I crack it open when I smoke, when it's hot out and I want a little ventilation, and open it a little when I'm on the freeway so there's not a lot of wind noise.

so yeah i agree for the IS the price is steep, but, you are getting quality with that price so its a good trade off to me
