Default ek oem Door-Visor vs after-market

Whats the difference? I know the Oem-visors have clips to hold the visors in place, and the after-market are held on by 3m double tape. The price for aftermarket $30.00 oem $229.00 Do they look different?? I wanna get a pair but need some suggestions, Thanks

if u have money oem is the best will look better and the visors will sit more flush in..while the a.m ones tends to flare out at each end with the tape..

$30 vent visors look like, well $30 vent visors. They're crap, and they have a tendency to fly off sometimes. I've personally used both before, and nothing comes close to the look and fitment of OEM honda visors. Btw, ICB Motorsports has the OEM ones for less than $230.

I've seen too many aftermarket visors crack. OEM ones are way more durable.

My friend had those $30 ones, he only has one now. The other blew off on the highway, hit another car and broke in many small peices..

I paid $197 shipped for mine form icb, pain in the *** to install, but well worth it.

Hmm...I have some I ordered on ebay for 40 or so...

They've been on for a year or so now...I like them...just my .02

OEM will never fail you though, I've had good luck with mine but if I had the money to fork out I would go OEM.

I have the aftermarket ones (were on the car when I bought it) and fitment stinks, but they keep the rain out while the window is cracked. I guess it just depends if it's worth it to you. I'll just rip the other off when one flys off.

The aftermarket ones won't fly off just out off the blue...if you pay attention to them and notice if the adhesive comes loose in a spot then replace it with 3m and you'll be fine. The adhesive that came on mine wasn't great and since I've replaced it with 3m I haven't had a single problem. The construction is good, it's a piece of plastic...and mine fits well with the contours of the window...so I don't have any complaints. I couldn't really see parting with 250 dollars for something that simple.

My friend, used the tape that came with the visors. Hence why the flew off.

I paid $197 for my visors, sure I could done something much better with the money, but, It is too late now. lol

N1, has them the cheepest at about 180 shipped. Was 176 for me, however they are out of stock, and chances are they still haven't gotten them back in stock yet.
