Default Window Visor Alternative

Hey Guys!

Just had a customer come by for a wheel and tire install and he had these WellVisors on his 2016 GS350 and they looked almost identical to the OE Lexus ones I had on my own GS350.

Great option for anyone looking for windows visors at a great price while looking very close to the OE versions.

I have these same visors and I love them! My only complaint is swirls marks that seemed to come right away but barely noticeable and only in certain light. Most people I come across (except for other Lexus and
GS enthusiasts
of course) think they are the JDM $500 visors haha.

I don't trust anything for a car that needs adhesive for installation, living in florida nothing survives this sun. well, in time
Looks good though, being at this price maybe in my case get a few sets lol

haha.. well.. i've lived in Arizona where it gets hot too but as long as you do a nice prep before sticking it on.. it will stick.

The oem "JDM" ones uses double sided tape as well for install with a couple (two) hooks to hook onto the chrome trim and I couldn't even get mine off when parting out my GS... even after using a heat gun over them multiple times.

These Well Visors use hooks and double sided tape, similar to the JDM! That's why I liked them haha, it's hard for me to trust just tape alone too.

The way they are shaped... I feel like they'll just be as good as the OEM ones. Very sleek just like the OEM and just about the same length I would say. Wish I was able to salvage mine then I could have done a comparison for you guys. haha. Ripped mine apart trying to get it off.

I have this on my GS. The wind noise is irritating! the noise starts coming in at 80km/h... Feel like taking them out! Feels a little waste of $...

I ended up buying OEM ones. I'm picky on fitment and quality. Mine have zero wind noise at any speeds

I don't know if there's any different between the OEM ones you've got & the WellVisors i've got. But mine definitely have whirling wind noise after installing. 80km/h onwards the noise is very audible....

i have wellvisors and the wind noise is not enough to bother me.

the difference in terms of looks is that the wellvisors' "chrome" section have black ends whereas the jdm ones are seamless..not too noticeable.
