But then again on the road and off the forums no one cares what version you have..just you and by rare chance another CL member on the road who lives here!

to the original poster...thanks for sharing. No matter how this post gets flamed you did a good service by posting any info that can benefit any member who might find it valuable!
very well said..

I rarely see any modified IS and I drive over 80 miles a day. An average joe will not be able to tell the different between AVS and OEM. Visors are visors..

I think te window visor mod is a little played out. They put them on F150's and evo's. Its not a unique mod anymore. I think a roof spoiler would look nicer

This has been covered before.

But here is a helpful link...

Here is what the Authentic JDM Lexus (Japan) window visors look like:

Ive had the cheaper ones on my 08 Mazda3 and it added wind noise at highway speeds which was annoying. Are the low profile versions for the IS quiet?
