Default So let me get this straight.. (window visors)

People spend $120+ for window visors to put on their civics. Whats the difference between these and the $20 ones old ladies put on their cadillacs?

The jdm visors have little metal hooks that you put screws through.. the cheaper pep boys stuff its just 3m double sided taped on.

Hehe, good question. I suppose some people will buy anything available that is JDM. And some people have the money for that kind of stuff. More power to them if they do.

Personally, I use my sun visors so rarely, I wouldn't even know the difference between USDM and JDM.

I think they look funny, JDM or not. But some people want all JDM **** for their car and so be it. To each their own. If your going to do it though, go JDM, the fake ones look cheap.

This subject has been beaten to death. All OEM parts are overpriced, US or JDM, that's how it's always been, probably always will be. Some people prefer factory fit/finish, other don't care.

I like my Ventshade Visors. I love how they function (I can roll the windows down without blowing around the passengers, my wife and son) and they provide some shade from the sun too. Plus I like how they look. If I had the money to spend on things like that, I would have got the Access, but that just wasn't in the budget.
