I'd recommend going with the seamless vent visors either by AVS ($80-$150) or the JDM ones from Nigel
http://www.nigel-jdmparts.com/Lexus-...M-Window-Visor
Pricey but apparently the fitment and quality is well worth it.
If you search the IS 2nd gen forum someone made a post about this website that sells the AVS visors for around $80 (cheapest I've ever seen.)
From what I've gathered in comparison of the two, the chrome on the AVS is a slightly different color than stock (barely noticable if you ask me), front window tab doesn't exactly slide in (read about people having to trim it to fit, but also about people just rolling down the window and it fits right in), and it tends to bend in and the window hits it when it goes up (although there have been posts that in order to prevent that its just fitment and placement issues when you stick it to the chrome)
Other people will tell you to do a search, so I'll beat them to it. Use the search button. There said and done.
But anyways, if you have the money for it people will recommened getting the JDM ones, if you wanna save money the AVS ones are pretty good, and people prolly won't be able to tell the difference between the two unless you tell them or they already know about AVS vs. JDM visors.

if someone say there is not a difference between the AVS and JDM, it is because they dont have the JDM ones. The difference is drastic just know that
