Question Extending the interior visor to block sun?

Hi Folks,

When i drive to work in the morning, at certain times of the year the sun glare coming in my drivers side window is horrendous. And as you all know, the visors are way too short to do anything meaningful. I wanted to see some opinions on this product and see if anyone had anything different: http://www.shop.com/op/~Extend_A_Vis...-prod-27380928



Not the sexiest thing in the world, but it's practical and should get the job done. What do you think? Any other ideas? I wonder if we can swap our visors out for another lexus/toyota model visor?

I loved extending visors!

My parents used to own a Honda Odyssey for their restaurant businesses, and these really help retain your pale complexion (Asian women ...).

Except, if they were that hideous, I'd go for ceramic limo tints or something.

I know, it's a bad design. You cannot swap for the GS's visor. I do not know about the ES.

hahahaha, I love those shade things. I always crack up when I see them wear it.

In fact I always see lots of young fobby girls wearing them....INCLUDING specially made sleeve covers for their precious skin.

I really wish our cars had the extending visors. I know other Lexus vehicles has them. Don't the 3GS have them?
