It looks much better than expected but the sides where it ends does look like it is raised a bit mroe than the JDM but if the GB price is good and cheaper than the $120 or so price, I might consider it.

Keep us updated on the GB.

Wow...Those look very close to the JDM ones...These pics are compliments of LEXMAN350's real JDM visors compared to the AVS visors...










I think these are going to sell out quick...Just placed my order...

thats the whole point of the chrome trim, so it flows with the stock look, the cheepo's dont have that and THAT looks 'a little odd to me'

They look great and for almost 200 difference I could live with the slight differences between the oems and the Lund brand....as far what I see..I think it looks very good for the price...and better yet M1 is building a survey to offer a group buy on these....wait and see

These look a little fatter (thicker and wider) than the JDM ones.. but that's just me.. they have a JDM visor group buy going on right now on the vender site.

the jdm visor have a clip in the 2 front doors that snugs into the door near the side mirros.. does these ones do that??? i think it will make it more stable during high speeds..

Hmm, I wonder if you could break off the chrome part for the trim..I think they'd look great without that upper area..=| It just looks strange at the front of the front door visor and the rear of the rear door visor how the chrome trims are on two diff. levels

Some of you guys are cheap. For around $100-150, thats still cheap. Better then paying $300+ for real oem ones when all they do is really for looks, well in my case anyways. I always have my windows up with the a/c.
