Default Window visors option

I'm wondering what different brands there are for window visors for the LS? Looking for different styles, all feedbacks are appreciated.

I recently acquired a set of AVS (AutoVentShade) visors for the 430, and am happy with them.
Only gripe I have with them is how the back of the rear shade just cuts off rather than being shaved down, making about a 1cm protrusion from the window trim if you look at it down the line of the car (That may not make much sense at all, but its hard to explain. Im sure others with visors might be able to relate to me)

I have AVS on mine and love them. They are identical to the JDM ones, and much cheaper.

Do the JDM ones stick out more? AVS style is very slim compared to most window visors

the only differences that i know of are the little clips that help to hold them on more than just the 3m tape, and the engraved celsior names on the front ones. those are the only differences and if they do stick out more its only gonna be like mm's more.

Why do you want them to stick out more?

These actually look better than the AVS, the AVS are too slim for me.

please do not put those weather tech visors on your windows... you will look more like a geo storm riding on its way to the carlisle show than one of us
