Call me biased but my "$600+ on plastic" was money well spent for something that's more contoured to the body and flatter and fuller.

Now to state they are "just like JDM ones" I would have to disagree but a good alternative aftermarket visors sure why not.
+1, well said. I also opted for the OEM JDM ones due to the better look, etc

This video about shows it all. Overall they are a good option not as sleek and tinted as the JDM version.

But $60 or $600 your choice.

Installed well getting those 2 clips to slide into edge took a little effort. Wish the gap between doors was not there.

Looks nice. The video is same color as my LS.

^ it's either the gap between the door, or the front not sliding into the triangle. you take your pick.

After seeing the install video that part is a chrome strip that is double stick taped to the tinted visor. We took that off of a set for a CT200h. A buddy has the ones for a 3GS and the chrome on all of them pealed. To each his own I suppose. But these are far from the quality as the oem ones. Also from what it looks like on the video they are a little too flexible. I'm guessing it'll sag with heat. I hope I'm absolutely wrong but I've been dealing with parts like this for years and have owned oem ones for years. Purchasing the oem ones did hurt when I did it but I absolutely don't regret it. I don't think there's a single person that owns them that'll say they made a mistake. Just my 0.02

I had them on mine last October and they still look like new. $60 well worth it.

If the OEMs install like the Well Visors, I am not sure they could be reused. The adhesive just won't be strong enough.

Holy crap! I thought I was looking at my car when I saw your pics. You're wheels are almost identical to mine. LOL

Well car sat in the sun for less than an hour. And two sides where the B pillars stick to tape pulled away. Just enough to see it i was wondering how this tape would hold up to direct sun. Pushed it back down and will see how it goes from here on. Lucky my car is in a garage most of the time.
