Default Sun Visors Suck

Anyone else feel like our car's interior sun visors really suck?
They're really small and they don't even have an extender that comes out of the side.

Also, do any lexus cars like an LS or something have double sun visors? I've searched but nothing comes up, I don't think 'double sun visors' is the official name for them.

They seem super useful AND the swiveling one has the extender on it as well.

I'd be willing to try and install a set of those on my car, and share results with everyone to see if it can work. Anyone have any ideas ?

i like the top-windishield-visor-tint-stirp-thing you guys are talking about, I love seeing them colormatched with car it looks sportier. i dont like that factory blue crap some cars have .

i wanted to mention that little visor piece that flips down above the rear view. pretty spiffy, didnt even notice it at first or the other sc's ive been in before mine. also like when i pushed the button on the rearview, i thought it was tilt like most cars, did not expect electric mirrior tint. BALLER! sometimes its the little things.

When I got my windows tinted I got the strip on top of my windshield done. 15% all around and 5% on top of my windshield keeps all the sun out.

I had one on my old car but used to get harassed by police for it. I saw some cheap extenders on amazon, they're literally a piece of plastic and a band to hold it in place, but that's too cheesy for a Lexus.

Don't know what you're *****in about . . . . .

Sun vizors work like any other car, plus you have that little rinky dink cool sunvisor between the mirror and headliner. Fold them down, you have a lighted mirror, that's pretty trick for 1992, despite Cadillac having lighted mirrors since the 70's.

Yeah that's all fine and dandy but I wasn't talking about that. And yeah the visors work like any other car except they do not have the extenders for the sides.

You know like this:
