Thumbs up Is The Visor A Mod??

For the Aristo 14 & 16......... Dont you guys/gals like the car with the Smoke Visor over the window?? Most of the cars I see here have it on, I think it looks great on a darker color car. I see the pictures you all post and MOST dont have them on. Do they come with the car and thats the first thing you all take off??

They don't come with the car in the US... See them a lot in pics of Japanese Aristos, though.

I'm personally not a fan of them... In the US (in my observation at least), people that put them on their car are usually chain smokers and those things allow them to roll down their windows to puff the smoke out when it's raining. Usually see them on pickup trucks here in the south.

If they made these for the 1st generation GS 300's, I'm sure it would cover up that wind noise we all experience as a result of the window trim....

I tried using Truth.com but it would not let me put a joke in there..............

SouthernSunGS:
What year do you have for the 1st gen I can check to see if they make it for your car.
I know the toyota dealer here has them for the 14 & 16.

I dont smoke and my little 4x4 FUN CARGO (toyota) comes with a visor......... no mistress yet just g/f.

I had those on my very first car and back then they looked good and was sort of a trend but nowadays those visors are so so played out and I personally think that they don't look so hot on the GS but tha's just my opinion.

By visors, he means the wind/rain guards on the edges of the side windows.

GS4fun: the person that posted this knew what the visor was.

[B]people that put them on their car are usually chain smokers and those things allow them to roll down their windows to puff the smoke out when it's raining.

what ever the name for it is......... the think it looks great on the car.

For those of you that I have seen your cars picture that have them on, I didnt see you post, but its okay the way this thread is going they might try to slam you for having one.
