I have the avs ones and they're good. Strong and durable. I've hit them accidentally a few times while scraping my windows off this winter.

any pictures of them up close?

do they mount outside with DS tape or do they fit into the window trim?

also do you think they stick out a bit too far?

When I was looking into this, I asked an ES owner on here where he got his (forgot his name). He told me to search JDM window vents/deflectors on ebay. The brand I got starts with an M. I want to say Maxis but not too sure. I'm not a fan of the avs ones because I think they bulge out. Mine are flatter and you can barely tell that they're there when looking from the direct front/rear of the car. Smoother look imo.

I can put a more specific, informational post when I get home.

Just check out my pics in either of my thread. I have the AVS ones. I was going to get rid of them to go OEM or the JDM eBay ones but I kept looking and it was honestly pointless. Unless you are REALLY picky you won't notice the difference. Also AVS has both the tape ones or you can get the ones that go into the window seal.

I have the avs ones too and that's exactly how I feel about them as well. I'm not going to buy another set that does the same thing except look a smaller.

Ive got the AVS tape ones. Been on my car since I bought it. And Ive had no complaints about them. I guess if I was picky they do stick out a bit. But its not a big deal, they are very durable and Ive not had a problem with them coming off at all.

Hmm... So far the consensus is stay away from AVS if I can avoid it then... Anyone have any input on OEM?

The weathertech ones seem nice but way overpriced

Lol no we are not saying stay away from them. It honestly doesn't stick out that much. Yes more then the OEM ones but it's not that noticeable. If want them cheaper then get the AVS ones. I'm honestly thinking of getting rid of them and my rear window visor for a cleaner look. Still debating it though.

Pretty sure mine are the AVS'. I like them, no complaints. $50 for all four at local auto store.
