The best one? A lot of members here swear by the JDM Visors. Very clean and sleek. Is it worth $400? Thats up to you to decide...

Im running the AVS Seamless. Definitely not as clean as the JDM ones but for me the jdm ones werent $320 better looking...

What are the differences between JDM and AVS visors beside the price?

Any issue with the AVS? I heard the windows can't roll up properly sometimes??

^Like any plastics, they can warp due to extreme temps. The OEM plastic visors don't appear to have that problem, while the AVS at a quarter of the cost can warp.

I have the AVS visors, and they have only warped on the driver's side front visor. Oddly enough, one portion bows out and another slightly bows inward. When I close the window, on some days it will touch the window while closing. It doesn't get in the way though.

IMHO it's the quality of the JDM over the AVS. They look similar but are not the same. Again, it's about preference. I'm a do it once; do it right kind of modder.

I am a do it once and do it right guy too but in the case, $400 for some rubber?? I mean seriously?? That is almost a price of a used Tanabe exhaust (also JDM product), almost a brand new iPhone, iPad and what not...I'm interested to hear more opinions from both sides before pulling the trigger on either AVS or JDM lol

Ive had my AVS on for five months and no warp yet...and i stay on Guam so its hot and humid. Ive seen people install them too high up and that will also make it hit the window.
