Default Window Visors

Hey CL mems I was wondering if there are any type of window visors that would go great with the IS300 Sedan, Any pics of people who do not have authentic ones? Because I am trying to look for one in the 10-30$ price range if possible.

Maybe you could save up or something and go buy the legit Altezza ones. If not, you could always try getting Weather Tech ones (I think they're kind of pricey still). But if you're realllllly just trying to spend $10-$30 bucks.... go Ebay....

just get some black electrical tape and run it along the outer edges of the window seals. cost you like $8 in parts and 6 minutes of labor.

I haven't seen any aftermarket visors look nice on the 1IS, they're too dark and you can see them flaring out from the behind

i think the jdm is what you should get, save up the money and do it right ya know? you can get a pair for around $150 shipped .i went through carsontoyota wihout looking around and got pegged for $200. go to myautofashion.com. tell him zach sent ya. or to nigel. never dealt with nigel but he is a vendor on the forums. shipping will make the difference in who's cheapest. you'll just have to shoot them an email and ask.

I've bought multiple things from Nigel including the window visors. Always good to deal with. I think his price is 129 shipped.
