Added JDM Toyota visors and coat hangers
I added some visors from Japan which i ordered. They ended up costing almost $300 and they ended up having the front passenger side cracked in the corner. I am waiting to get a replacement as they where shipped not as well as they should have been to protect them. I could not wait to get them on and only found out it was broken when i pulled the doublesided tape away from it and saw it flex by the chrome strip.
I also got some coat hangers that sit on the headrest supports. I have one the right way and the other upside down as they sit lower. I am going to try and make it so it sits lower as it looks better.Oh yah you can see the curtains slightly also.
I also have a Junction produce FUSA hanging from my mirror which i won from Lex fest . I am hoping to receive my other prize from Junction produce who is supposed to mail to me but they have not emailed me back.

Luxury mods sell them for $220 plus shipping.
They only cost $150 in Japan then the guy makes $30 profit and ships them for $40 more. so it equals $220 USD. By the time it gets here i figured i would go direct but i got hit with extra taxes and duties which i never had before. So another $57 and the exchange rate equals $300 CAD.
More than i wanted to pay but it is something i always wanted. I am happy with the product just not the seller for packaging them in bubble wrap and tape instead of a box to protect them. Now i have to waste time going to the post office filling out paperwork for them to more than likely deny the claim for improper protection for shipping. I'll get day picks up later.

Should come up for our monthly Lexus meets when it gets warmer. Or we are organizing a wing night in a week or so. 2turboZ
Snoopy they are easy as hell to install. Much easier than the ones on my ES which i had to get a friend to walk me through the directions.
It basically is clean the chrome strip area where the double sided tape sits. Then use the supplied adhesive promoter ( that small white cylinder it came with) to clean it again with a Q tip. Once done you are attaching the brackets to a small metal strip under the trim which is seem once you push it back. Puredrifter posted a Japanese link showing directions but i used it for pics mainly as the words made little sense translated.
Takes less than an hour and only needs a rag and heat gun or hairdryer to heat the adhesive after.
Here is some of the JDM books i have collected.
top left to right
Detroit NAIS press kit from Lexus
2004 celsior Japanese brochure ,yes it is a hard covered book
my 1994 ES windom brochure
Rim bible my first JDM book with every rim available in 2000 with tons of body kits
Second line
Tanabe JDM spec brochure
Junction produce 2005 book
1998 celsior manual
celsior guide with every available modification every thought of

The coat hangers are local and cost $25 each. They are chromed steel with multiple inserts to fit the headrest posts perfectly.
Let me know if you want a set and i can see if they have more.
