Default vent visor recommendations?

so i'm lookin for some vent visors..for those that have them..which do you think is the best?

i heard of some that obstruct your view to the sideview mirrors and all. i've done research online just a bit and sen the Weathertech ones, the JDM ones, and the In-channel ones. know of more? ones that are cheap yet still effective and great quality??

thx.

none, they get jacked like they did on my car! lol i had wade in channel btw. if you can afford i would suggest esams or oem jdm ones. next wade inchannel, last regular stick on the outside type. the other in channels are supposed to be crappy. the plus for the stick outside type is that they are cheap and if they get jacked they won't damage the seals like when they jacked my inchannel ones.

Sorry, but the vent visors look weak. They are so small and don't look like they serve any purpose.

$45.00 vent Visors/ $230.00 Esams you pick! if you are on a tight budget like me save some money for more important mods, header, headlights,tail lights or what ever you still want.

I agree..several owners have had these and end switching to esams anyway...I have a friend with these now about to get a esams or toyotas. My girlfriend had vent shades too and they didnt fit all the way in there werent very think grayish and stopped the back window from coming up. Esams are BLACK! thick when you take them out of the box you automatically feel the quality and gives the side of the box a real different look...

What are the purpose of these, besides the fact that if you like them they add style, and yes I like them. Just wasn't sure what purpose they serve.

I had Wade, but the in-channel-ness of them was deforming my seals. I took them off. I really got no benefit out of them.
