Question Lexus Japan GS side Visors

Hey guys
I am thinking of getting these GS side visors, I am just wondering if there is anyone out there that has them install and possibly some pictures. I have a SGM 07 GS350 do you guys think it will look good or it won't. Please give me some honest reply before I make a mistake thanks in advance.

Here is the link of those visors that I am talking about:

I cant even see the side visors in the picture. For $320, I could find better ways to mod my GS.

That's the whole point. You dont want the visors to be visible at far distances. Unlike the crappy cheap uglee looking weathertech ones, they are very bulky (thick), and you can see the double sided tape. The JDM visor is thin, classy looking, and it matches with your factory chrome trim on the doors. Looks like it came with the car. I get a lot of compliments for my JDM visors. Even the dealership where i take my car in for service asked me where i got them from.

It took about 3 days to arrive after I placed my order. I haven't put them on the car yet though because I'm waiting for the weather to warm up. Like others have said though, it's all personal preference. If you want something clean that won't stand out from afar and flows with the lines of the car, go with the JDM visors, but if you want something that everyone can see...I'd keep looking. HAHA.

Thanks guys for all the advice and that is a great picture by the way. Is it hard to install the visors on the side?

Havent had a chance to take pictures today, but i found one picture i took a month ago.. I hope it helps you visualize how the visor looks on the car. Installing the visor is fairly easy, 30mins tops.

I did see one similar side visors on eBay for lot less ($39 plus shipping), but not sure if that is the design that you are looking for.

Hope this helps!!!
