If your looking for a set of JDM visors, check out the vendor section. I hear a lot of members get theirs from Nigel-JDMParts. They run somewhere between $300-400 I believe?

If you want a cheaper option, check out AVS visors. A lot of websites sell them for around $100-125

AVS Visors are great. I have them on my IS350. AVS or Jdm visors are the way to go..

Save your money with the AVS visors, every car that Ive seen pictured with them has them sagging on the rear windows. Mine do this as well and sometimes rattles on the passenger side. I'm going JDM and should have saved my money and went JDM to begin with.

I've had the AVS ones for over 6 months now with no problems at all. I'd recommend them. I understand JDM but can not for the life of me justify $400 for 4 pieces of very small plastic.

AVS isn't bad at all, they are what you pay for. IMHO I'd save my money for a JDM set. I have a set and I believe fitment is a little better. One of my best mods on my car. Good luck.

JDM looks the best, but if you're modding on a budget AVS makes a decent substitute. Do NOT get those eBay ones.
