Default Visors - AVS vs JDM

Does anyone have comparison pics of the AVS and JDM visors? Thanks

don't have pics but AVS seem gigantic comapared to the JDM. Also, like sc300jz said, the JDM visors on the rear windows, flow more smoothly/seamlessly.

The JDM ones are really nice, I have the AVS though.... They're ALRIGHT, they seem to bend and warp a little in the sun =\

I found some side-by-side pics of the AVS vs JDM. I hope Ikampimp and Chancellor doesn't mind me posting their pics.

AVS on the left and JDM on the right

I honestly think AVS looks much better than the japanese ones. However, they warp. very unfortunate.

Warp a little? Mine bended/melted so much that it literally sits on the window and when i drive on the highway it causes rattle against the window. Im at the point where ill just dump them. To the op i highly would suggest jdm but they cost 3x and honestly i doesnt worth it,

Wow...that stinks. Given I'm in Houston, Tx with 100+ summers, I don't think I'll be getting AVS visors.

AVS visors look a bit bulkier. I guess you can say JDM ones look more slim and sleek. Go with JDM.. it'll hurt your wallet a bit, but you'll be glad you bought them over the AVS

i have the same rattling issue with my AVS. they are a bit flimsy, but 400 bucks for visors is outrageous IMO.
