Default Window Visor & Mug guard from Japan?

I have a friend in Japan that looked up the price on the window visor and mud guards for an 08 GS350 from the lexus dealer there. They asked for VIN and color code and he came back with ¥21000 about $260. Great price!!! He also said that the dealer said that they are made for Japanese produced cars not American and may not fit. I guess he may have been referring to "right-hand" drive vs "left-hand" drive. Would it make a difference? I don't think so. Any thoughts...comments?

I along with many others here have the JDM visors and they fit without issues. Vendor "Nigel JDM Parts" can get them. I think I painf $360/ shipped to me on a group buy. I know it's more than what you were quoted but I don't have that connection.

Cool let us know the prices might be interested in the window visors. Do not think the mug guards fits if you have lip kit

So far no break down of price. But for $230 I couldn't say no. Don't see why the mud guards shouldn't fit with lip kit.

I bought mine some 3 years ago, paid around $300 for the set and never regretted it.
