Replicas don't have the clips that also hold them in place. From far away you can't tell the difference but up close you will.

That's about the average price you'll find them for.

For the GE though, I think the OEM look great and they aren't expensive at all.

Not too sure about the GE8, but for the GD3, the Mugen ones come with both the double-sided tape and the clips. I'm sure the Mugen GE ones should be similar.

Yeah but were talking about replicas. As mikejet stated they have no clips and are held on entirely by tape

LOL yeah, the replicas for the GD were only held on by tape as well. x] That, and a lot of them were just black plastic and not a smokey clear plastic like the real ones. :/

I got my Mugens from Kings Motorsport in the summer of 2007 and they are still looking great without any problems. The clips really help to stablize the visors.

Yeah as long as you do the proper prep work there is no problem.
