they are selling knock offs... and it may be entirely different.... the closest thing to the OEM JDM Visors are the AVS... if you want to buy AVS on ebay please do make sure it is AVS... not just JDM

Yeah.. IMO, get AVS.....

I couldn't justify spending 400+ on 4 pieces of plastic that someone could just come and rip off... I got mine directly from AVS for ~110 shipped.

JDM Lexus one FTW. The AVS looks like *** (sorry to those that have it) It's much bigger than the JDM ones so it just looks off.

ones from weathertech look pretty nice also, 100 bucks look great and has a great price! even has 2 colors to choose from. I love the JDM ones too, but they are just way too expensive...

Burrow these pictures from member "2slow", hope he/she doesn't mind
