Default ..New VISORS on E-BAY....JDMish and cheap!

WOW. There are some new VISORS on E-BAY that look similar to JDM visors that sell for about $270!!

They appear to be NOT IN-CHANNEL type.
This may be just the solution for the stylist on a budget. LINK:

just FYI these are installed using double sided tape only unlike the actual ESams that are clipped to the channel. both ways are pretty secure. I guess the ESams will technically last longer since the clips cant break down like foam tape does, but for such a big difference in price, who cares!? just buy more tape when it gets old!

Default .....NOT E-SAM like.....

Your box will last a long time. Slow modding may be better than burning out in a burst of flaming mods.

I called these JDMish because they most resemble the JDM visors from
http://www.newscionparts.com/product/?id=1772
They are not very E-SAM like, but I would have tried these a year ago before I went for the E-SAM's.

The last set of visors I had, were stuct to the outside door frame around the window and lasted the full life of the car. (264,000 miles)They stayed in place and I saw no deteriation of any of the double sided tape.

My knock-offs arrived today from HK and they are superb.

Its wierd, HK has a bid for them starting at 10 bucks and then a buy it now price for 10 bucks.

Some people are having a bidding war for much more than 10 bucks and just not realizing they are also buy it now in his store!

That seemed odd to me and I hesitated getting them but they are just like the other knock-offs that cost much more.

I think he has four left. I got em for 49 dollars~

As I said they arrived today and they are superb.

Sorry, thought I said that.

Actually, I did.

Really surprised me how nice they were.

They are the same as the other copies that are more costly.

You should of just sent them back.

The box is small enough.

Still would of been cheaper than losing all that money.

Sent them back to Hong Kong???? Paypal specifically told me to not send it back and the seller wouldn't give me an address to send it back to - I tried.

I'm not out the money - just a paypal account w/ a negative amount - whatever.

Oh come on now, the address is right on the mailing label.

You can even return to sender. No charge.


Paypal said NOT to return it, but kept the negative amount on your account?

Sounds fishy.


Negative amount? That is gotta damage your credit rating.

A package that has been accepted will cause for me to have had paid for them to return, plus the address was illegable and the seller wouldn't respond to any messages. 3 of the 4 visors arrived broken due to horrible packaging.

Negative amount is because paypal wouldn't do crap about it so I called my bank and they gave the funds back to me.
"Since you had the funds reversed, you are the fraud" from Paypal customer service after I faxed black and white photos of the broken visors and gave them months.

That't your loss.

I put them on today and they are very, very good.

Very warm day today, so I lucked out.

I reinforced with aircraft VHB tape alongside the regualar 3m tape and the doors will come off before these do.
