Question Window visors. Anything bad about them, besides styling?

Do they add noticeable road noise? Thinking about putting them on 4th gen ES so i can "roll" with my windows opened a bit when it rains. Any feedback on these?



I also came across mud flaps .... any opinions about these as well?



the weather does get nasty here in north east this time of the year..

well, i don't have ES but for the last 4 cars I own, window visors was a must have (for the fuction, not the look). I think they look ok anyway

I worried about the road noise but didn't really seems to be the problem.

ES is a different beast. this thing is really quiet on highway. extra noise from visors would drive me crazy.

looks like weather tech visors is a way to go though!!! they cost 4x ebay visors though .... i will try them and report back.

I love the visors, had them on my Nissan Sentra, and they were great. Allowed me to roll down the window a little and not getting wet when it was raining. I didnt notice any more noise with them on. I have a 98 Lexus ES 300 and not able to put on visors.

Don't give up! I know they exist just look at the hot windom pics thread. then share your setup so 2 and 3 ES owners can celebrate together lol.

I personally would't go with mud flaps, I always feel like I should be shoving a car through mud when I see mud flaps.
