Sunroof visors are 80s. It is rare that you see them on our cars (at least SoCal cars) because they are unattractive; however, you seen rain guards quite often.

1. I understand these have a light brown color tint to them right?
2. If someone has a pic of a car without tint and visors on can you post just to get a idea?

I wasn't a fan at first, but they definitely have grown on me. I was planning on picking some up in the next few weeks.

They are awesome with or without a tint. They look clean on my bro's GS430 without tint. And hopefully better on mine with a TINT when I decide to purchase them!

Functional ability and looks were my primary reasons for getting my set; does change the look of the car a bit. Every Aristo I saw in Japan had a set!

I love to see these (rain guards) on the GS. But I have to admit that what I like to see on someone else's car is not what I would necessarily like to see on my car.

But I voted
