Default JDM Window Visors for $30..on ebay.

I'm thinking about ordering these JDM Window Visors for my IS350 from Ebay. Does anyone have any experience ordering these? I'm just wondering if there would be problems with fitment..I just don't want to spend 250 for 4 pieces of tinted plastic. What do you guys think?

I highly doubt that those are the JDM ones that you see selling for $250-300. You can give it a shot though, if they look pretty good for $30 post some pics so we can see!

of course they're not jdm.. they're replica. i was thinking about doing this too, since 250+ is a little expensive for me. i wonder how flush they are, because from pictures, the real jdm ones look really flush. anybody have pictures of their car with ebay "jdm" window visors??

OP, another route i thought about was weathertech ones, they look pretty good, and they're $100 last time i checked.

I don't understand why anyone would pay 250 plus for window visors..I bet the same exact visors are used or same material at least, but vendors jack up the price b/c they know lexus owners are willing to pay the price. I looked at the ones from weathertech, and what could possibly be better about the 250 dollar ones?

^^ Its more along the lines of a Genuine Lexus Part designed specifically for your 2nd Gen IS..

Fitment is 110% flawless and nothing like it on the market.

The true "JDM Lexus Rain Guards” have a real Lexus part number available in Japan..
They also incorporate an easy clip installation & chrome strip to match the rest of the door frames..

See below :

If you don't understand this, then you've never seen the real Lexus JDM visors, my friend. Like Joe said, the look and fitment is unlike any accessory I've ever seen for any car.

if you like the look of them they will work just fine...you don't have to spend the 250$ and get the JDM ones. Its all preference. Like you said they probably come out of the same MFG facility One is shaped different and gets a nice market up! Don't you love marketing in this country

IMO I don't care for these but I have put them on my wifes cars in the past. Here is a place that has great service and prices also. They have good quality and everything I got in the past from them was perfect. I have no clue what they cost today and it maybe comparable to what you will get from Luis. Luis has great service and is also very pleasant to deal with. Both places have done a great job for me! check it out and see if its another option for you! http://www.weathertech.com/

I do agree from a "look" stand point that the JDM style does look better but its preference as to what you like best not everyone here
