My buddy got those raingaurds. Pure junk.....in both our opinions. Pretty big difference between the two as far as quality, fit and finish. But hey, its just for looks, so who really cares.

That's why you all should go with OEM parts. . ..

not a big fan of the rainguards(although it does look pretty good when the windows are tinted), but they look a lot better than most cars that have 'em. they don't stick out all crazy, and actually flow with the car pretty well.

I've had my rain guards since May and I can say that they are worth it. The IS does not have visor extensions like my previous Highlander and on the way home from work it cuts done on the glare in that "one spot" where you really need some relief on the drivers side window. Also if you're tinted you can leave the windows down a bit hidden behind the rain guards, with the moon roof popped up and no one will know and it will keep your car cooler in the sun!

I just got the WeatherTech last week. Although it looks really nice, they don't fit that great. I have tint on the front and that maybe why it seems a little tight. I am probably going to buy the dealer one's to compare. I don't like the WeatherTech one's because of the fitment near the bottom section closest to the side mirrors. I also used a blade and removed the WeatherTech logos on each rain guard. Why did they put their logo on each one? Nobody wants to see that on their IS.
