It depends on you. If the REP TTE is easy to get then get the OEM window visor first. BTW, I'm on REP TTE. The fitment of mine is 99.9% compared to the real TTE. just missing the TTE badge.

SLow Cuz It's Low

Like what the rest said, get the Lip. I think that the visors are easier to get than the lip.
Thinking of getting one myself

Depends on your price range, if you're planing to get the lip you'll have to factor the cost of painting and maybe have someone to install it for you, that's if need someone to. Jdm visors will cost alot less and easier to install.


I say TTE lip

that is v8rndow's post on craigslist, very nice guy and actually with the disasters in japan the window visors are harder to come by. each cost about $150 so just get both
but if i had to choose tte rep all day long
