Great to know, thanks bro! I might pick up some of these myself, can't afford the legit mugen ones and I'm not feeling the replicas too much

Yes, yes they do. I'd advise to just stick with OEM.

OEM looks better, costs less, fits perfect. Not saying these are bad, but they don't make a ton of sense. They are probably easier to install if they just stick on, but I like the brackets on the oem ones, as I believe they are there to keep vibration/oscillation down.

Who cares if you have replica Mugen visors I mean honestly is anyone going to be able to tell from internet pics? I say if you want them then go for it and screw what everyone else thinks. Anyway yeah OEM visors are only about $50-$60 so IMO you're better off. The quality will be higher and they won't fade or crack after a year in the sun.

lol...Have you ever tried to collect on a lifetime warranty through an Ebay seller. It's the biggest scam they run by getting buyers to think they will stand by their product. Once they sell you the item they will find any and every excuse not to honor the warranty that is if they're still around on Ebay when you do run into a warranty issue.

I'm speaking from experience here I used to be a Powerseller for over 5 years. Many sellers I met would always say how offering a lifetime warranty would convince people to buy but when it came time to stand behind their product most sellers do nothing and feedback has already been given so the seller really has no reason to help you. Don't get me wrong they're not all that way but the majority of them are.

To answer the question no . But this warranty is from AVS, and i have had great luck with lifetime stuff in the past and getting new ones quick... ie.... tripple edge wipers

Oh yeah, sorry for the confusion. i just found them on ebay, but there's an actual avs manufacturer! The one thing about the mugen reps is that they're only 3m adhesives on them, so anybody could really just yank em off. OEM's got the clips, does legit mugen have the clips? I was thinking about finding my own clips if i can to fabricate them onto the reps if anything
