Default Window Visors?

Hey Guys,

Anyone running these on their 2nd Gens?

2006-2011 LEXUS IS250/IS350/ISF ABS WINDOW SHADE VISOR

Thinking about picking up a set for my IS so I can have the windows cracked for fresh air but block the light during the summer and prevent the rain during winter.

Let me know how they fit/worked out!

Thanks,

The two brands everyone on the forum are getting and using are the AVS visors and the JDM visors. Both serve the same purpose. IMHO the JDM visors are made of better quality and better designed. They are a lot more expensive than the AVS visors but well worth the money.

Do a search and you will find many articles concerning this matter, the pros and cons of each etc.

I agree.

OP there are tons of threads about window visors and the difference between JDM ones and AVS/weathertech/etc.

Either spend the money for the jdm ones, or don't buy visors at all. Just my opinion.

If you're interested in those for the price then you won't like the price if the JDM ones. ($400). The ones you posted are the cheapest and worst looking out of tall the ones out there. If sugfesy the AVS ones if you want to stay just above the or ice if the ones you posted. I honestly love my JDM ones mostly for looks but also for fit and finish.

Damn right. I know a couple people with the AVS ones and they are BULKY, they just stick out like a sore thumb. The JDM one's are very clean and sleek, in the end just like everything else YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR

Got to pay to play. JDM visors are well worth the money. I've had mine close to 6 yrs and still on with zero problems.

I was on the fence about spending $400 for 4 pieces of plastic at first but after reading all the feedback here on CL I decided the JDM ones were worth it. From what I've read the AVS don't fit properly and requires slight modification to fit but eventually warps. This was one purchase I dont regret

Becareful ordering those from that seller. I smelled something fishy when I saw the price. Lowest I've seen was about 110.00. If you look at the pictures from that seller, it's not the seamless one. It does stick out quite a bit so I doubt it's the one your looking for.

First mod (outside tint) was JDM visors. Don't look back on it at all. if you plan on doing the CF pillars as RDIS250AWD did, You should get those first. I wish I did

Unless he paid at least $250 (the lowest I've ever seen jdm visors sell for, and for that price they're used) he did not get legit jdm visors.

Looks can be very deceiving
