Do these visors do anything about the obnoxious wind buffeting that occurs when driving around with the windows down at highway speeds?

it helps a little...particularly if your windows are about halfway down or less. Or so it seems to me anyway

300 for plastic the avs would be awesome if jdm didnt have any. I have gotten lots of compliments. Hey to each there own i guess. I would rather spend the cash on hard parts like rims suspension and such.Oh well LOL plus my wife would laugh and then kill me...

good luck with the avs. the plastic will get warped from the heat and touch your windows. JDM visors you can bet the quality is there.. you get what you pay for

the avs ones are cool, but i have to say, if u look closely you can tell the difference.

kinda like coffee... there's the mc donald's iced coffee (good value) n then there's the starbucks (a bit pricier). people prefer one over the other. its just a matter of taste.

The biggest difference between the JDM and AVS visors, in my opinion, will be the design. JDM visors seem to flow better with the line of the door trim. I have JDM visors on my previous IS350 and my F now. I'm sure not everyone is willing to spend $300 plus on a set of visors.

bad analogy avs has been around for over 50yrs its not quality its quantity that makes them cheaper they sell thousands more..I understand what your saying about preference and taste and I agree. Its all good.... but dont come with that cheap ****. Like i said see what JDM gives ya in 5 years when they fade or what ever the problem may be.

Danny - no one is trying to convince you to spend for the JDM visors. Those of us that have them are willing to shell out the extra for the design. I (and pretty much anyone else) can tell if you have the JDM Lexus visors or the AVS visors - it's not so much a question of quality, but design. I don't like the look of the AVS visors, plain and simple. You obviously like the AVS design, and that's great - to each his own.
