Vent visors

Ive been reading different threads and such and wondering what the difference is between the OEM ones and "vetn Visors" ones?

why?

Thanks Ken,

Here is mine with OEM visors...see how they taper off at the back, and almost connect in the middle? They flow with the car much better than the cheap visors that just stick out directly from the door, and then stop for several inches in the middle.

^ heh heh

The fitment and look of the oem visors are the best looking (to a lot of members)

Here's a pic for reference (OEM)

Weathertechs don't meet in the middle like OEM does and I think they hang further off the car.

Good choice! You can keep an eye out in the Black Market, but going through a vendor here would probably be easiest, either OEMAcurapartsTim or AckTL05.

To lazy to click shit. Definately get the OEM visors. The others look too damn cheezy on the TL.

OEM flow so well with the roofline and back windows. Plus they are held in with double sided tape AND clips.
You won't find that on the aftermarket.
