For those of you who have them (or who are fans of them), I was wondering if you had a preference of which brand/type of window deflectors to put on. I like the ability to leave my windows cracked to let some air in without worrying about whether it rains or not, so I'd like to get a set of these.
I recently installed the OEM lexus ones and I love them. Fitment is perfect. I think you should go with the Wellvisors since they look cleaner and more low profile than weather tech. I was never a fan of weather tech since it makes everything look like a riced out civic because of the way they flare out lol. From what I've read, Wellvisors seem to be 90% fitment. They have slight gaps from what I've seen. I chose the OEM lexus visors just for perfect fitment and peace of mind.
I put on Well visors about a month ago and am happy with them for the price point. I figured I would try them out for the 70 bucks and if I decide later that I want the OEM Lexus ones i can always swap them out. The only trouble i have run into is it takes a little longer to dry the car off.
Wellvisors are the way to go. Closest look to oem. Much sleeker look than weathertech, and adds a lot to the car. Be prepared to deal with a little more wind noise though.

Thanks for the pics - the in-channel install does look a bit cleaner than the Wellvisor version...no problems with wind noise?
Only at highway speeds above 65. Periodically at lower speeds if there is a strong crossbreeze but you will experience some type of noise anyway so I am not certain if what I hear is normal and I am just more sensitive to it or not. The radio needs to be off for you to hear anything
I prefer the in-channel for the cleaner look and no adhesive sticking to paint surface as some others require the adhesive for application
I had the Weathertechs on my GX and they were nice. Your preference really
Here is a pic from the side as an additional reference

I prefer the wellvisors and have them on mine. I like the lower profile and the fact that they extend across the B pillar, creating a continuous look. Not a fan of the gap left across the B-pillar with the weathertech ones.
I installed Wellvisors and like others have commented, have experienced the wind noise generated when driving at highway speeds. I decided to see what I can do to reduce/eliminate the noise. I sealed the gap between the visor and the window frame by the side view mirrors with a piece of tape, about an inch long. This eliminated 80% of the wind noise. I think if I use a clear silicone sealant to seal the gap between the visor and the door frame for the front doors, it could eliminate 100% of the wind noise.
Picked up the Wellvisors, any idea how to remove the sticky residue left over the protective foam on the clips? Was going to install them but spent an hour scratching of foam gluey residue, I'm at the point where I'm just about to install them with a bit of the gunk still on, but very infuriating.
not sure if they were transported to me in an oven or whey the foam would be melting
