Default GS 4th gen - Side Window Visor

I received the side window visor on Friday thx to Nigel @ Nigel-JDMParts. The visors are excellent compared to what i had in the SC300 and 240sx. I can see why its price so much. the quality and feel are awesome (doesn't look like it wont become brittle in time). It also has silver trim at the end to make it flush and whole with the car.



sadly it did not come with instructions but it was easy and takes 2 mins to install


to install there are 3 clips for the front and 2 clips in the rear.
for the front their is a clip at the end which clips to the molding next to the mirror. this would be the first step if you are installing the fronts.


the other 2 clips are small which also the rear has. this would clip on top of the silver trim.


installing the visor are really easy but the adhesive are very strong so be careful.




Inside front and rear


Next up full coilovers

Default ^ +1 Looks Great

If you can post some pics at more angles it'd be great. Full side view, etc. Looking good so far.

I'm confused. These are the side window shades? You can get those and install them yourself?

I have a F-Sport and my biggest regret over not getting the luxury was not having these (one car seat and another on the way - so the heated seats wouldn't have been used).

Can someone confirm if this is the case? And yes, please post more pictures!

My bad - they're for the exterior. I figured it was too good to be true.

Good job on the install, looks good! But not what I was looking for.

reading your first post. then i read the second. yeah you need the shades for the backdoor windows for that growing family. know how you feel i have 3 plus the wife. your only option is to ask lexus if there is anyway they can install those,,, it's a manual op, not like it's electric like the rear shade. i could be wrong but all they can tell you is no,,, nothing gained nothing lost

Is this held on by clips or double sided tape?? I am thinking of getting it but I want to black out the chrome trim on my car...Sounds like these pieces have the chrome trim on them??
