    I was looking for the JDM Visors and stumbled accross this on Amazon.



    Are these the JDM "OEM" Toyota Visors? The ad says its a Toyota product and the original price ($189) falls in line with JDM Visors. They have a generic picture on there and that you wont be able to tell. I left a question on Amazon and just waiting for feed back. Let me know what you guys think.

    If that is an image of what you actually get - those are not JDM visors. If you have the resources , spend the money and get the real deal. You will be happy you did. I am very satisfied with mine and don't harbor any buyer's remorse at all !

    The listing says "easy peel & stick installation".

    These are not genuine Toyota visors.

    WeatherTech are the only ones to buy in my opinion. And no matter what color your car is ordering the "light tint" is the way to go. Also if for any reason anything happens to one of your side window deflectors while you own the car you just call or email WeatherTech and they will send you a replacement one for free. I have used them for years and have bought over 10 sets of side window deflectors for my cars and family members cars. You can't beat the look or the quality of them.

    :)I agree, spend a little extra for the WeatherTech. What's your logic with the "light tint" versus the dark? I would assume most would opt for the dark.

    WeatherTech's dark tint deflectors are very dark and their light tint are medium dark. For me side window deflectors should blend with the vehicle's look and not "stick out". So even with a dark colored vehicle and darker colored tinted windows the light tint seems to blend in best - if that's the look you are going for. I used to buy their dark tint ones until I realized their light tint weren't so light and actually blended into most cars better (in my opinion).

    One caveat though is I always stay within state laws for windows tint and for easier night driving - so maybe a dark car with limousine tint would fair better with the dark tint deflectors.
