Default Whats your opinion on window visors?

Hey guys, so i just got done talking with my old brother about getting some JDM visors on my car. To my suprise (not really) he said i shouldnt get visors because they look cheap and are something that belong on hondas and the like. Now , my question to guys.

What do you think? Do visors (JDM visors) look good on our cars or cheap? Do they help or ruin the image?

I love them personally and will still buy them regardless but lets see what you all think. Thanks

I personally don't think it look cheap at all, specifically for the JDM. Other brands yeah maybe due to quality. But you need to understand. Its an OEM Lexus only type visor for our car that is design to flow so well while keeping that luxury classy taste. The Lexus isx50 jdm visor is by far the best. Can't compare to Honda's.

yes! many members on here, including me, have the JDM ones and will tell you they look amazing compared to the AVS ones. the JDM ones are a bit pricier but they are absolutely worth it!

at the end of the day, it's your car; do what you want to it

Yeah see we saw a fixed up is350 at Formula Drift down in Irwindale this year and it had AVS visors on. At the time he said they looked pretty good but now he denies it? Lol.

I assured him the JDM ones are much nicer (IMO) and at the end of the day im still getting them no matter what.

This is what i think he fails to understand. The OEM visors were designed to go perfectly with our cars lines and as such they look 100x better than other brands and makes. To be honest, even I dont like visors, but for some reason once ive seen these i fell in love with them lol.

Get JDM and only JDM visors. They are simply the best and look great as opposed to the ones you typically see on other cars.

YES! in my experience, OEM is (almost) always come correct. Fitment is on point and especially now in the rainy season its nice to vent out that stuffy cabin air and get some fresh air without getting wet and cut down wind gusting through the inside of the car

I'm on the same fence as well - On my Acura TSX I have it on but the car is modded. On my IS250 it's stock and not sure it will look right with just that mod lol plus I wanted to retained that luxury look from a Lexus and not rice it out too
