Default Anyone installed window visors / rain guards?

Has anyone installed window visors/guards, or have seen them on a GX? If so, please provide your opinion on the appearance and if possible whether they are functional or impractical. Thank you very much.

I am trying to get a set myself but with no luck, I have had them on all former owned vehicles, they work great specialy if you smoke and when raining, I will be the ginney pig if I find a set, but I am wondering my GX is pearl white with lots of chrome and installing a smoked visor got me thinking, well hope this helps.

I recently found on the internet a company that sells visors for the GX. The company's name is WeatherTech Automotive Accessories and the name of the visor they sell is called WeatherFlectors. The URL is:

http://www.weathertech.com/store/veh...pt_choice_id=0

The above link will take you to the WeatherFlector for the 2003 GX470. If it doesn't, go to www.weathertech.com, select the WeatherFlector icon then select the pull-down box in the upper-left hand side of the screen to select your vehicle make, year, & model.

I'm seriously contemplating purchasing these visors, but not for another month or so. If you're more serious and plan to get them within a months time, please provide some picts and let me know what you think.

I have the weathertech weatherflectors and i love them. They are the best out there because they are tension fit instead of stuck on with 3m tape. I have an lx470 and i had a body shop paint mine the same black onyx as my car and the look awsome.

May I ask how much the paint job cost? I, too, have the black onyx. I am in Seattle WA, so weatherflector would be a good add on for the rainy fall weather we have here.

Care to post some pics?

Thanks!
