Default Wind / Rain Guard Visors

I love the way the rainguards look on the lexus gs, especially on the black vehicles. I want to purchase a set for all four windows and possibly also the sunroof, my question is which kits are the best, are they all cut the same, how are they installed (I see some for sale online which say you install with tape [Janky])... any advice on pricing, styling or cuts, or where to purchase is much appreciated.

Is 156.80 shipped a good price?!?

It seems pretty good to me given that it is OEM...

Any thoughts?
