Default weather tech window visors

I was wondering how good these are and how flush they sit on the car compare to oem/jdm visors... I think they fit better to because i heard they fit inside the window jam and more secure.. If anyone has experience, pics or info please share... Thanhx

Please buy the JDM ones, if you cant afford them~ save up... BUT if you must have now, get the AVS brand and save up for the JDM ones, weathertech is NOT an option you should be considering.

I'm sorry but $350+ for JDM window visors is ridiculous! What are you guys smoking?!? It's freaking molded plastic!

ive had weather tech for a while now and Ive had no issues. Perfect fitment, no increased road noise....they do what they're supposed to do. What else do you need?

Close to $400 for 4 pieces of plastic is a joke. I'm sorry, but sounds like a major rip to me.

You can get what you want but a lot of people get the JDM visors because of quality, fitment, and the brand.

I guess you are right, but I don't think I could bring myself to buy them...at least not new. How much would they go for used? I haven't seen many in the classifieds.

Get AVS visors, they look great. Very similar to JDM and at a fraction of the price. I got mine used for $40. idc what ppl say they are so much more worth it imo.
