Sure is. OEM. Don't even consider anything else.

OEM flows with the lines best, OEM actually gets clipped in, OEM is better quality.

Yeah, that was because you posted on the performance section. Don't think twice, go OEM, worth the additional $$$

Go OEM on those visors...anything else is gayer than aids!

Seriously...the OEM ones are the only ones that fit correctly and look right on the rear window where it terminates. Many non OEM types have a blunt end rather than tapered.

That has to be Tim's new web store at a new dealer. I thought I read that he had moved to a new dealer. I know because I've never seen package deals like that on type-s rear lights.

In that case, he is a great dealer and I would buy again from him in a heartbeat. Actually, I'm surprised we don't see him on here more often.

go oem for a TL. for racer-boy cars like civic si's, mugen visors look great on them but for a classy car like a TL, oem is the ONLY way to go.

that's about right. anything over 160 shipped is over priced.

it can be had for as low as $145 shipped to your door from AckTL05 .

Nope....looks like ATLP to me....hard to tell from the distance though...the M3 Style looks closer to the type-s decklid spoiler (sorta)

I went OEM and it was the best decision I made, quality and the best fitment. I ordered my set at Bernardiparts.com $155
