Personal preference. If you like them put them on, if you don't like them don't put them on. I like them, I think they look good and are functional. Do a search you should find some threads with pics.

Once you have it, you will want to put it on to ALL cars you have in the family.
they are functional, works well especially in the Northwest (rain).

IMHO it depends on what else you've got done to the car. To my eyes, they flow much better with a VIP car than a stock or sporty GS. I think the wheels poking out or being flush and a 3-piece spoiler that wraps around the trunk are complimented by the visors sticking out a little.

Visors belong on trucks, not cars, especially a Lexus.

Everytime I see a nice car on here with those fugly visors, they are always there with other tasteless mods. ie curtains, huge butt ugly wheels, etc etc.

If you do get them, get the OEM Toyota ones. They flow really well with the windows. The aftermarket ones look ugly like the ones on trucks because they stick out a lot.

I never understood window visors.

They remind me of those bug deflectors you see on the hoods of trucks.

On a full VIP car they can be a 'final touch' type of addition,
but on a stock-ish car they remind me of those old school
dual wiper blades. Just sort of trendy.

But if you dig, it, go for it.

I got mine from nigel...I like them. Made driving with the windows down a little nicer. There is less wind noise with the windows all the way down. They don't stand out as much as I first anticipated. In fact, it took my roomate 3 days to notice them on my car.

Thanks for the pics/advice, my gs300 is riding deep dish mrr gt-1 black on black so the window deflectors should be a nice lil mod to add on

There is a member in the vendor classifieds section called nigel-parts (i think) who carries the oem visors for a good price.
