Anyone have OEM Door Visors on their RL

Just wondering if anyone has the original Door visors/vent visors for their RL, Looking for reviews on them prior to purchase.

It's probably split about 50/50 between people that have the OEM visors and those that have the Mugen visors. Haven't heard any complaints either way about them. I've tossed around the idea of visors for a couple years now. I like the looks both ways. My windows are up 99% of the time so it would be purely cosmetic in my case.

Visors in general. I know many don't agree; it's just my opinion. When I went to Taiwan for work, EVERY SINGLE CAR had visors. I don't think they add anything aesthetically to the car. I can understand if you want them for function, but their form reduces the beauty IMO. Kinda like having a bra on the front end.

I have the OEM visors on my RL. Personally I like the way they look and I like them in terms of functionality. At times I like to drive with the window(s) cracked open slightly. The visors definitely help with that.

I love they way the OEM visors look on my car. I ride 95% of the time no matter the weather with the windows cracked just for fresh air. One of the best purchases I made for my RL

I have the windows cracked in these photos

Thanks everyone for the replies.

For those who have the OEM/USDM ones approx how low can you drop the window in a light rain before it starts coming in and dripping into the power window master switch. This is a pet peeve of mine that i am looking to eliminate.

Found some pics of the Mugen ones:

I was thinking that same thing. I had them on my old 4th gen accord and found them functional. My issue with them is sometimes aftermarket ones are not in the least bit sleek looking and add bulk. Thats why I wanted to know about the mugen vs oem. I have an 08 Lakeshore and I dont think they will look at all good.

I definitely like the look of the Mugen visors better. Much more streamlined looking but I doubt they are as functional in their use as the OEM ones.

I never owned visors before. Seeing the Mugen set in person flows perfectly with the kit and does not stick out far from the window at all. I'm getting them installed this weekend.

You have a choice:

Climate control or noisy, ugly visors.

If I bought a luxury sedan that was comfortable, quiet with a cabin filter I sure wouldn't let all that noise, pollution and dirt into the car.
