I had them on the 330. They're pretty solid and blended in well with the black trim.

I've already emailed, and I'm waiting for him to respond. Those don't look bad at all on the 3rd gen. They seem to be a little slimmer compared to the weathertech. At least the rears

I have the OEM visors on the 450h. They are much slimmer than the Weathertechs, even the OEM style ones in the thread RX330inFL's posted. They also extend to the middle pillar between the windows which is hard to see in the picture. But I can't slide a wash mitt underneath the visors to clean and they attach to the outside window frame. With the Weathertechs I was able to get to the windows underneath easily plus they sit in the window track. In case you're wondering, they rarely interfered with closing the windows via one touch because the visors have tape to help adhere them inside the track. One upward tap on the visor usually solved that problem when it happened. The main reason I didn't go with the Weathertechs this time around is because they weren't available when I bought my 450h.

You can't go wrong with either. It just may come down to price.

Check with Xenon Depot, one of our CL vendors. I know they carry their mats, maybe they have the visors too. Shoot them a PM for quickest response. Steve will get back to you right away. I think the best part about Weathertechs is you can order the front and rear separately. That came in handy when I accidentally broke one of the rear ones. It was a fluke, they're actually very sturdy. You'll find out when you go to install them. It's downright scary the way they have to be bent to fit into place.

Does anyone have a comparison shot of OEM/JDM visors vs. the Weathertechs? I contacted Nigel for some OEM ones, but he only provide the link for the OEM style ones.

I Googled it, but all of the results were aftermarket. A part number for the OEM ones would also be appreciated if anyone has it. Thanks!

What about highway sound? Do either make a whistle or add loud sound when going down the highway?

I installed the front window set of the weathertech deflectors but the back set didn't seem to fit too well. Here is a picture of the deflector up against the window. When you installed yours did you have this much room on both sides of the deflector before you installed?

I measured a rear Weathertech visor I have lying around from my '04 330 and it was just shy of 23 1/4" at the widest part.

Thanks, I will measure when I get back to the house. Weathertech was a big help in offering to send me another pair for free, as long as I send the old back but I will check to see if the pair I have will work again.

I know they require a bit of crazy bending to install. It's good Weathertech will take them back if there's a problem. Hope you don't have to.
