PIC REQUEST for VISORS on SFP
As the title says, all and any owners with SFP 2IS's with JDM or AVS seamless visors can you please post up some good pics of yours? Let me know your personal experience with them etc... I've already blew alot of money on my car this summer, buying two sets of wheels & tires + TPMS for each set and the 2012 headlights. My next mod will be the visors. I just really need to try to justify if I want to put out $400 for pieces of plastic that could very well get stolen off my car. I have read many threads about them and some say they've had issues with the AVS warping, some haven't. Everyone says the AVS has to be slightly modified to fit perfectly which is fine with me. And lastly that the chrome trim on the AVS is not as good as the JDM's. The only major difference is that the JDM's say "LEXUS" on it. Other than that they look almost identical. Am I missing anything? Lastly please can nobody turn this into a rep vs authentic "pay to play" "don't fake the funk" "support real manufacturers" thread etc etc. Some things are worth spending top dollar on, and some aren't. But I am not gonna buy something for the sake of supporting any company when at the end of the day all they care about is my $$$ Thanks

But yeah I personally saw some people's avs visors and they look alright. Personally I think they look oem when looking from the front... but when you look from the back, I think the chrome trim of the avs is too thick when it lays down on the far end of the visors on the rear doors.
IF you are not too OCD about it then I say save money and get the avs. I had my jdm for about 3-4 years now and still no problem! I would be scared about the warping issue and especially in the hot summer days! IF you garage your car I would be more prone to getting the avs if you are desperate and dont have the time to wait for a used one!

Each to their own and I understand the Jdm visors are best but as the op stated, $400 on 4 pieces of plastic in this economy is outrageous! I've had my visors for 3 months now and love them! They make such a big difference in terms of looks for your car compared to other isx50 without them. The double sided tape that comes with visors are super durable. My car has been through several car washes and the visors come out just fine. I have no issues with the visors being warped or tapping against my window. Worth the $100 brand new shipped IMO. Hope this helps!

my brother I think this is the one mod I would say we gotta save up and dish out the $400 for 
I've seen both JDM and AVS in person and though AVS looks alright in pictures, they don't look so great in person. Ofcourse this is my personal opinion but you out of all people know if the rep is good enough, I would have no problem buying it.

i agree the avs visors suck in quality area and here is why.they will ome deformed and warped due to the heatshrink packaging they come in, the driverside front window hits the visor on the way up and sends the window down, i have to push out the visor a few times so the glass wont hit. i have tried heating and realigning it , even put spacers between glass and visor for a few hours and heated in between, no luck it goes back to original shape. avs is good for looks only but does not serve its purpose as intnded. ill post pics later for ya.

I have never seen JDM visors in person, but Ive seen pictures and can tell they are the best. AVS visors are a nice alternative but still not as nice as JDM. Im actually selling my AVS visors and might be saving up for the JDM ones

For AVS visors, it all depends on how you install them. I had mine on for over 6 months and never had a single problem.
And as you can see they def don't stick out more than jdm...

You can't go wrong with either. Both are well worth the money. I've seen both in person and the AVS ones are nice but the JDM ones are way better looking IMHO. I have had the JDM visors for over 4 years and have not had a problem with them. No warping or chrome wear whatsoever. 
I am scared at times of them being stolen, but then again, thieves can steal any part of your car if they really wanted to at any time.
If it was my decision, I'd save up and get the JDM ones. It is well worth it. I wouldn't want the OP getting the AVS ones and later down the road regret not getting the JDM ones and then reselling the AVS ones to get the JDM ones.
