Default Another Window Visor question

i saw some gs300's in random parking lots when i was leaving and they had what to look like OEM toyota window visors, they have a mount inside of the window visor and it says toyota on the them or the driver one at least. and im wondering where do they get it? carsons isnt OEM toyota is it ? or does carson says toyota too?

im thinkin about joining the secret society too, I just dont like the fact that it uses tape instead of mounting in the window chanels like the weather techs. from pics ive seen looks like the WT visors kinda bubble out tho. decisions decisions

I'm not a big fan of the sunroof visor, besides, if you have the sunroof visor won't it block the air from coming in when you have the sunroof open?

Lol, I think that's the whole point of the sunroof visor ... Although some people put it on for looks ... I won't be getting because I don't like how it looks, AND I don't want to block the air from coming in

Funny, I seldom use my sunroof anymore. Just used it for the first few weeks after I bought the car.

I really couldn't tell you, but I do like the fitting and JDMness of originals. As far as price goes, IMO cheap stuff doesn't touch my car.

Sorry, i've only seen a few other ones, but from what i've seen, Toyota one's look the best IMO.
