2g Tl Weathertech windows visors VS. honda access

I'm planning to buy a set of window visors for my 2g tl this friday. i'm on a budget, so i just wanna see how much difference there is between the Weathertech and the oem honda access visors. the Weathertech is half the price of the oem ones but i dont want them if they are bulky and stick out alot. input from any one that have seen both will be appreciated, thanks!

IMO honda access is the way to go, way more flush looking.

weathertech looks pretty decent to me but its hard to tell without doing a side by side comparison. based on the replys so far i guess honda access is the way to go since its more flush.

honda access looks wayyy cleaner, i have the weathertech ones because i couldnt afford to get the access ones, but these get the job done and make my tint look a little darker.... IF i had the money i would have ordered the honda access visors a longgggggggggggg time ago

going with Weathertech...

I prefer their rear visor over the oem access, it seems to have more coverage of the window

being that far to the rear doesn't help anything imo..

I'm a fan of the OEM Honda access, I like how they flow with the TL and overlap the b pillars

either are fine for me. i have the weathertech set, and for $80 as opposed to $200+, i made the right decision for me.
