Default Side Window Visors

Is there any difference between the JDM visors vs. the ones that WeatherTech makes?

Mostly looks and PRICE! JDM is REALLY nice and perfect fitment! I bought mine from Nigel in the vendor section.

Is the JDM worth the extra cost?

JDM visors are pure sex! It is held on by 3M tape and hooks. Weather Tech visors are in-channel. If you want the JDM visor look and don't want to spend $300+ then there are the AVS Seamless visors.

I don't regret getting mine one bit!!....when I see the other brands it looks a bit off compared to the JDM visors. Also, you'll see them ALL the time when walking to the side of your car!

Maybe a dumb question, but what is the purpose of these? To cut down on wind entering the interior with the windows down??

There is a noticeable difference in quality when comparing JDM to AVS. JDM fitment is better, I like the size better, and they have trim at the edges to make it flow right.

+1, once you see both in person, you can easily tell the difference, JDM ftw.
