Can't really tell from the picture. OEM doesn't bulge/bubble or round out coming from chrome strip...OEM is somewhat flat. I think OEM is the one with the blue tape.

Right is oem. Flat one is oem. Who makes the other one? I had to correct my reply after I was able to zoom. It's the right one that's oem

I'm going with left. The OEM has a foam strip that goes across the plastic and chrome as you can see on the top of the image. I didn't even know they made aftermarket visors of LS460. Who makes it?

The verdict is (Right Side).
Who makes this aftermarket visor? I have no idea.

Pros and Cons

Pros.
1. Flat like OEM
2. Same length and width
3. Same hooks and double sided tape layout

Cons.
1. End cap each side
2. Chrome is wider
3. Tint level is lighter
4. Weight less than OEM

I need this gone because it will NOT fit my LWB. ONLY for SWB.

Darn I was wrong lol. I thought I was looking at the inside of the visors; kind of hard to tell. I even have the OEM visors sitting at home.

Just found these on ebay. They're 4pc where as the OEM is 6pc (windows, plus triangular covers behind the mirrors) if I remember correctly.

The little corner piece really makes a difference in the look. I clicked on the pics and I don't like that gap the aftermarket ones has. Good price though. That entire set is the cost of one of my visors lol
