Default Any good window visors?

Hello all,

I own a 2008 IS250 and was wondering if there are any window visors out there that fit the car and aren’t too expensive? Thank you!

-Brandon

OEM are probably the sleekest but are a bit pricey ~$300-400. These attach with tape and clips and match the chrome window trim lines.

AVS makes a similar style as OEM but the quality is a bit less. Adhesive sometimes comes free and the chrome occasionally will lift. (https://www.carid.com/avs/tape-on-lo...EaAhj0EALw_wcB)

Weathertech are solid but have a different look where they sit in the window channel. (https://www.weathertech.com/lexus/20...ow-deflectors/)

I've owned the AVS before and got rid of those in favor of the weathertech, had zero issues over the past 2 years or so.

Thank you! OEM is definitely out of my price range but will definitely check out the AVS and Weathertech. I’ve never had window visors on a car before so im hoping they’re worth it!

Dont get avs. I threw mines away. They hit the window so when you drive on the freeway it makes this annoying sound. Weathertech is a good option but also check the “wells” visor. They have the smoked ones and the tinted ones. The tinted ones doesnt have the logo on it which is nice

That sucks. Could you link me to the wells visor by chance? I was looking at them earlier but they didn’t have a Lexus option in their “make” filter..

Yeah I also recommend the Well Visors. They are quite popular because they match the trim of the car and are relatively flush. Good price too, here's a link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/WellVisors-...S!-1:rk:1:pf:0

Thanks for linking me to those. They look awesome, and only $55.99!? That’s less than avs and half the price of the weathertech, I’m sold!

I've used these since 2011. Yes, over time they'll bend slightly inward thus touching the window PLUS the chrome will degrade. But for the price, just get another set! I love the slim profile over the Weathertechs.

I bought these a while back and I've used them for about a year and half now. They're still holding up strong so I definitely recommend them..
