You took a potentially nice car, added some pretend rich curtains and then completely took away from it by adding those vent visors.

I don't get it.
Troll ftw!

I always hated the visors until I saw them on the VIP GS's here. To me, the curtains and visors look great on a well-done VIP-style GS. I'd do both if my car ever goes enough in the VIP direction to pull them off.

so by adding a VIP styled interior accessory and one of the more popular (and OEM toyota option i might add) mods to his car....he did what wrong exactly?

the curtains i can understand being lost since there isnt a whole lot of other VIP derived work done to his car, but look around at how many people have those visors on their 2gs...

lulz,

omg, I disagree with someone else's taste....I must be a troll!

I didn't know that those vent visors are oem from toyota. Doesn't matter though. They belong on trucks not cars IMO.

I also am not sure what the allure is with the curtains? They're curtains! Since when do curtains belong in cars that aren't 250k+ that require a chauffeur?

I really don't care what you guys do, I just don't understand some of these cosmetic mods. I know we all strive to be different in some way with our cars, but still, these mods make me scratch my head wondering just how and when they became "cool".

I hate visors on trucks...I'd never put them on my truck that's for sure.

Where'd you get the curtains from? I have the JP ones but they fall a few inches short of covering the whole window... Do these provide good coverage when opened?

Aristo visors are genuine O E M Toyota parts for the record.

I've wanted to do these for the functional aspect of things as well, especially since I haven't quit smoking yet and I can't stand the water running in when it rains and the window's cracked; but I don't think my wheel fitment is aggressive enough to pull these off right now. IMO they flow much better on a car with the wheels poking out a little bit or at least pretty flush. I think it balances the visors sticking out if the wheels are sticking out a little.
