Exclamation Vent Visor on GX470 where to get

Anyone can recommend a good place to get Vent Visors for Gx470 hopefully good quality and not to expansive? Similar to the one i attached picture.
Thank You
PS. Will a set of Vent Visors for Toyota 4Runner fit good on to GX470?

the one you have in the picture is made by weathertech. those are probably the best, next to the oem ones from toyota of japan (which is a pain to get, and $$$$)

i had AVS (auto vent shade) on my old 4runner, i would never go with those again. they were double sided taped on, and didn't look too good.

i recently added weathertech light smoked visors to my GX and i absolutely love them. they are in channel, so they just snap into place. took about 10 minutes to install all 4. you can get them through weathertech.com for a lil over 100 bucks shipped.

35 bucks ain't bad, but visors made for 4runners will not work on a GX.

other than the fact that the GX is much taller (including widows). the T4R and GX have different part numbers for the visors, whereas if they were the same part, they would have the same part numbers.

T4R 03-06

front: 70317
rear: 71317


GX470 03-06

front: 70329
rear: 71329

4Runner and GX have 100% completely different bodies. Window shape and size are completely different.

The only exterior pieces that are the same are the outside rear view mirror buckets- and even the mountings are different.
