Got my window visors installed. Super inexpensive and it came out looking great imo. My GS is super filthy but it’s no point in washing it as the weather is so bipolar.

Wellvisors are a great bang for your buck. They make the car look so much better.

Be very careful cleaning the well visors. They swirl like crazy very easily.

Just finished a 3 step correction and coated with Adam's Ceramic spray. Owning a black car is considered a hobby!

Dang, no pics yet, but I found a great looking carbon fiber spoiler, and carbon side mirror covers on amazon. They look amazing witht he Red GS. Taking pics when I get to my car after work!!

I really want to turn my non-Fsport into a Fsport. I've seen the front grills online. Anyone have experience at this, or attempted it?

Any reason you went with these over the weathertech in channel vents?

For me personally, the wellvisors fit shape wise the same as JDM as they extend some coverage over the fixed rear window whereas the weathertech do not. They are lower profile (Closer to the window) whereas the weather tech stick out a little more. Also, the wellvisors provide coverage over the B-pillar so it looks like an uninterrupted visor. The weathertechs don't cover the b-pillar so you see a gap in the flow of the visor.

Wellvisors:

I replaced both the Engine Air Filter and the Cabin Air Filter with OE Toyota/Lexus filters.

Good for you! I did the same for $55 and two minutes of my time. Save from getting raped at dealer.

Both my filters were 4½ years old with 27k miles and looked practically new except the Engine Air Filter was yellowed from age.

What's funny is - I've actually given my Lexus dealer the opportunity to replace these two filters 'if needed' for four years when I take it in for oil changes, and the technician always says that neither filter needs replacing. Both filters [still] didn't need replacing when I did it today, but I figured I'd go ahead and replace them myself anyway.

I looked at the invoice and I paid $54.57 plus $9.86 for shipping, so I paid a total of $64.43

LEXUS OEM FACTORY ENGINE AIR FILTER 2013-2019 GS350 ( #17801-31170 ) $16.50

LEXUS OEM FACTORY CHARCOAL CABIN FILTER AIR FILTER 2013-2019 GS350 ( #87139-30100 ) $38.07

Subtotal: $54.57
Shipping & Handling: $9.86
Total: $64.43
