OEM are perfectly fine. I have the rear five tinted and only put the front visors on. I like the look and the fact is the rear windows are really never open and the way they do open sort of defeats the visor's purpose IMO.

The price you pay is going to be for design only, and are probably manufactured at the same plant. I think the Mugen ones look better if you are going to add more aggressive touches to the car, like lightweight wheels. The smoother ones look better on cars with more of a VIP (or stock) look imo.

Win quote! Exactly what Hayden said. The Mugen visors are nice, but in the end they're just visors. I got my OEM visors for $54 on ebay with free shipping. The Mugen visors are about $170-$200 plus shipping so yea, I guess it depends on your budget

OEM here. I actually like the look more as opposed to the more aggressive look of the Mugens... for now. Maybe once I start modifying the exterior more, I'll look into the Mugen visors to fit the flow of the car more lol.

how do you install the mugens? are they stickons as well? or do they actually mount in the window sill?
I haven't seen a pic of the mugen ones, but if I can get the Honda OEM for $53 free shipping, i would take those

canuck, the $55 ones on eBay are not genuine and use only double sided tape without any brackets. Strongly recommend getting the OEM Honda ones from hondaparts or cflhonda rather than get knockoffs as they'll last quite a few years longer if they have the support ribs when/if the tape fails. Here's the knockoffs on ebay, shipping to you is $10.

I got mine on ebay but they were legit. Got it for $54 free shipping. Mine had the double sided tape and brackets. HONDA FIT DOOR VENT VISORS-NEW IN BOX-SET OF 4: eBay Motors (item 270613969585 end time Aug-06-10 17:10:05 PDT)

Here's where I got mine. They're a legit Honda dealer from NY. Cheapest one you'll find and legit!

I like OEM, the flushed visors look cleaner than the bloated Mugen.
