Yes it is I think. The picture isn't clear but it seems like it has a chrome strip on it. If so, then yes.

I read some pretty bad things about the AVS. Do a search and you'll see...
Here's one of the threads:
Visors - AVS vs JDM
AVS are like 1/3 the price, but you get what you pay for. Warping in high temperatures is one example...

I would have to agree with xpionage2. I've owned both and can say that the JDM ones are way better than the AVS ones. The AVS ones tend to bulge in the front visors on both the driver and passenger sides. Using strong 3M tape and repositioning doesn't fix this problem. I've tried several times.

The JDM ones have a metal strip attached on the underside of the visors to prevent warping. Plus they're more flush to the surface of the window than the AVS ones are. This makes the JDM visors look sleeker.

Overall the AVS ones don't look too bad for the price. But once you see the JDM ones, you'll realize the quality difference between the two.

Either way, good luck.

Thanks for the advice guys. Good thing I'm at work still or I would've hit the buy button. I will definitely put your guys 2 cent into consideration. Thanks again CL!

I bought those AVS for Christmas (free shipping). They are nice with the crome, slick seemless style. I would not pay $300+ for JDM.

Well, I was about to post my thread on the AVS visors that were under $80 on eBay...but they raised their price up over $100. Well, hope a lot of members got theirs before the price change; I know I did.
