Anyone bought these window visors?

SE 09-10 Acura TSX JDM Window Rain Wind Visor Visors
I like that they have the chrome on the edges, but am wondering if they're any good. Has anyone bought?

If it's your boat, go for it. Personally, I don't like the "bubbles" over the sunroof or sides of the windows.

I have one on my pwp tsx, it's pretty nice imo, and it'll make your car stand out since most ppl use the OEM visors. But I didnt buy it from ebay I got them from SEMotors.com a few months ago.

IMHO I'd get WeatherTech visors for a couple bucks more, its very nice and subtle which still utilizes your chrome window accents.

This is where I purchased mine...

I have a TL & got the AVS window visors. Went on easy & look good.

I like these too but for me it was the price.

Do you have any other pics, maybe from a different angle?

I'm trying to compare the two, but for some reason, there don't seem to be any full-body pics (other than this one) of the WeatherTech.

The difference in looks that I see, is that this one doesn't cover past the window in the middle, whereas the JDM do.

I'm trying to decide which look I like better, but can't really tell from pics so far....


Any other difference besides looks and price?

Does anyone know how these are installed?

I'd hate to have to put TAPE on anything on my car.....

I checked the WeatherTech site, but they don't seem to want to provide the installation information.

No tape required for weathertech visors, they slip into the window channel you have to work them into it.

I read something about tape though, but I'll take your word for it.

IIRC, the WeatherTech fits in the channel like most of the AVS visors. There should be a narrow (1/2" or so) strip of 3M tape to adhere the visor to the inside of the channel. The only thing that I can say I dislike about in channel visors is that the top of the window will occasionally catch the lip of the visor, near the channel, if not installed perfectly. I usually take a sharp razor knife and trim the leading edge of the visor down to help prevent this.
