Default OEM Window Visors Q

Hello everyone, can someone confirm for me that the OEM Lexus window visors only fit 2016+ models, and that there wasn't an option from the factory for 2014 and 2015 models?

Thx in advance.

I don't see why they won't fit the 2014 and 2015 when no changes were made for the 2016 model.

Thx, yeah that's what I was thinking. They did do updates to the tailights, rear valence, tailpipes, etc for 2016+ models, but the A and C pillars are structural and I doubt they'd change those.

Thanks Josh. My goodness, the OEM ones are a rip off. I just put in an order but they look nice, so I will bite the bullet.

they are like perfect match and held by clips, not tape. also there are less gap between the doors. completely flushed. way too expensive though.

Personally, I went with weathertech. I like the fact they slip into the window slot and they look sleek in my opinion

Uhh they ARE held on by tape and hook shape design.
You get what you paid for. It's not just plastic. It it's metal trim on it also

These were a option since 2013 (the car is a 2013 year model in other countries)
I've had mines since 2014 when I got the car

​​​​​​​If it's a 3rd generation IS then it will fit the same door visors

Okay, thanks.

I got them, just have to install. It comes in a baller-looking box.

Couldnt quite install tonight unfort as rain threatens here, but it gives me the opportunity to ask, for the front doors, there's a plastic tab towards the front (first pic). Does that just wedge into the weatherstripping, and in the second pic, is it then supposed to sit like that?

Install was a success. These OEMs look phenomenal, very subtle, sleek, and seamlessly integrates with the rest of the chrome. The small Lexus logo under the visors are a nice touch too, as is the shipping box the set came in. 8-)
