Window Visor question

Anyone have any experience with the Autoventshade window visors? My wife likes the look of them but we're concerned that they won't be as good a product as the JDMs.

same price pssh...get the jdm oem ones


and trust me you dont want it painted. its already hard to see with the stupid A pillar bar in the way. you dont want to add another inch to block your vision on top of that.


rock the jdm ones. you will be really happy

I completely agree. The painted visors might be OK for tall truck or SUV windows (but I'll bet that they still block your view in bigger vehicles too), but in the Fit the OEM and Mugen smoked visors work great. Being able to see through them is a must.

I had the vent shades on my xB before.

They are very flimsy and break very easily. I went through two sets before I upgraded to better (JDM) window visors.

I also have the Mugen visors now and could not be any happier with quality.

So which do you prefer, the Mugen or the JDM? What is the difference between the two?

Can't say anything about the JDM ones cause I have not had them.

But the Mugen ones are great. thick plastic not flimsy, held by 3m tape and clips. Has ventilation channel to help with wind noise and air flow.

JDM OEM slim but not flimsy, held on by clips and 3m.
No ventilation channel.
