You can either get the OEM "JDM" ones for like $250 plus, or the aftermarket ones for $90.

I am still up in the air on this mod. But if I did it I would only do the oem lexus visors because the weather tech style visors will make your car look like a ford f 150. What trips me out about the visors is that I see soooo many different japanese tuner cars with them now. It used to be more of a VIP thing, but now I see them on modified Evo's STI's, even civics. I guess in NY or the east coast you guys will get more use out of them. In AZ or CA its for show mainly.

LOL so true. I was thinking about getting this one. Looks better than the weathertech ones but I hate how it looks so "tacked on". I guess if I were to get one it would have to be the JDM visors

that depends on your definition of decent. if you mean much less than the ~$280 or whatever the OEM visors cost, then yeah you have a few options -but the fitment and quality looks cheap to say the least. if you want a high quality part to match your high quality car, spend the money on the right product.

If the car is hardcore VIP I am for it. But I would do a visor on a stock car personally.

for one, it's the latest model of the GS. Lexus is a premium car company from Japan, and naturally, they have to offer 'premium' products with their respectable prices. look at the front lip option offered for the new 3 series coupe, it's gonna run you close to 3 grand with painting and installation from the dealer --for JUST a front lip.
