I don't have those pictures, but they did not cause any permanent damage and if you roll your window down you'll see why. The rubber that the window slides up into can be pried down just a bit. The brackets simply slide in that gap and are held in place when the window is up. Then just a snap fastener to mount the visor to the bracket. Very easy and straightforward.
Just over 127K on it now and have had no problems whatsoever. The battery light will stay on some times at startup until I rev it a bit (PS leak on Alt slowly killing it) and the starter won't fully disengage at times which makes an awful noise for a split second but she's yet to let me down. Oil change scheduled for this weekend (no consumption over 3K miles and still has honey color to it!) and going to raise it 1/4" and soften damping at all corners before making a trip to OK next weekend. Still very much enjoying it and it turns heads more than I expected when I got it
Went a little higher than originally planned but was able to get it level at all 4 corners on the first try. Sitting at 27" ground-to-fender here:
Very happy with the look though and the additional height did wonders for ride quality. I didn't realize that I hadn't adjusted the rears since install so they settled to be 1/2"-3/4" lower than the front
Alternator had been slowly dying due to the PS pump leaking on it and it finally quit this past Thursday. Got a reman unit thrown in and all is well. Have a pump rebuild kit on the way as well to hopefully give this alternator a long life. About to roll over 130K on the odometer.
136K on the clock. Saturday I replaced a leaky rear camshaft cover on the drivers side, some o-rings on the PS pump, flushed the PS, replaced upper and lower radiator hoses, filled up with fresh pink Toyota coolant, and changed the oil. Still no leaks 2 days later so all is looking well and she's leak free for the first time since I bought it!
Also, lowered it to 26" at all 4 corners a couple weeks back and it's perfect. Even 3/16" lower and I'd be scraping and rubbing. Ohhh, and mounted a set of Pirelli P7s a few weeks ago as well
Another little update: The Mevotech UCA on the passenger side is making some noise already. Little play in the forward mounting point. Only lasted about 8K miles.

Thank you,another proof yet again,Lexus only on suspension parts.
A little annoyance has popped up. Twice now (with several months in-between) the engine has died on me when coming to a stop. In both cases it happened immediately after exiting a driveway rather quickly to get out into oncoming traffic and then having to slow to a stop at a light. The high rpms dropping back down to idle while braking, consequently dropping below idle speed for a brief second, seems to be why it stalls and dies. Quick shift into Park and it fires right back up though so not a huge concern, but I'd be curious to know if there's anyway to resolve this permanently.
Annual quick detail yesterday. Stripper wash with Dawn soap, clayed with Meguiar's SpeedClay, polish with Orange HexLogic pad and Meguiar's 205, Jet Seal with Red HexLogic pad, final wipe. Smooth as a baby's butt
