Did you both buy the new 3M stuff locally or get it online somewhere? Want to make sure it's not too thick, so the spoiler sits as flush as possible to the glass.
I just went to the local auto parts store and got a roll of 3M red tape. It is probably only about a 3/8 - 1/2 of an inch wide about wide. It was like $8 and covered the entire spoiler. I had this on my 2IS for almost a decade. You couldn't pull it off by hand if you wanted to, provided you prep the surface well. I clay bar the glass and alcohol wipe both surfaces well. I did eventually pull the one off my 2IS like 6 years later to have it repainted and it would have broken before that tape let go. I had to use fishing line and a heat gun to cut it loose.

I hear ya. My OEM (style) rear spoiler came with legit 3M tape, and that stuff is NOT coming off! Barely touched it to the car, too, and couldn't pull all the plastic off the strips, it adhered so well. The stuff that came with this window one doesn't seem near as good, more like Post-It Notes, lol.

Good pairing, I'd thought about going bigger and matching those two as well.

They’re OEM Lexus visors. Purchased on eBay.

Nice, looks mean. I considered that same setup on my black IS, in fact I remember checking out yours.
