well as far as i know you can only get black (curtains) in the states and white (curtains if your an old lady in japan .. junction produce sells some.

i have the jdm ones (visors) and i think the compliment the lines of the car much better than the avs ones, but is this worth $100,, ehh maybe.

I've got the AVS and couldn't be happier with them. They look perfecto to me.

those avs's look almost identicle in that pic above as the jdm ones. the only other difference that i know of is that the jdm ones have little hooks to hold them onto the window frame and they say celsior in the rear of the front (visor) corner. is this the only difference? ^ ^ ^

a little celsior badge would be nice, but 130 is a lot nice to my pocket.

The AVS have a little slot that inserts between the side mirror and rubber to wedge itself secure. They also have an AVS logo on them, which you can only see with the windows down and looking through them from the inside out.
