Default Wind Deflectors

While looking through most of the threads here, I have not seen any 250's or 350's with them installed. Do people not like them very much? Do you think they look tacky in some way or other? Please enlighten me!
Thanks

It all depends on which one you find. the OEM Lexus Japan accessories are the only ones out and are pretty expensive. I think the Lexus Japan visors are the best windvisors i've seen from any aftermarket company or brand.




Photos were taken by me at VIP Auto Fashion LA 11/18. The IS350 belongs to our member jinetx.

It looks nice, just it's a tad pricey.

for 300 dollars or whatever they are charging for them, I feel that they are not worth it. yes they look sweet, but I cant justify 300 dollars for a few pieces of molded plastic.

k stop makin excuses, the SC visors from Toyota are only $160shipped.


For $300, I don't see why not. There is definitely a price to pay to be different. And yea, you don't want to pay for molded plastic. Why buy a Lexus IS and not a Toyota Corolla? Why buy body kits? We pay for things, that's how society goes round.

uh...okay ... i have an IS now.

there is a price to pay to be different... gladly pay 1200 for even just a lip kit... gladly pay 500 or 600 for an exhaust... gladly pay for 450 for xenon depot hids... but 300 for wind visors? i mean some have done it... and i already spent 250 for just merely plastic for chrome door handles... i just feel there are better things to spend money on... like the LMS SC or a Torque converter... that's all...

just got mine installed.

from my point of view that i think they look ok cool but it doesn't work as well as the normal one you seen on the road. the one that stick out more is a lot more usefull. the lexus one is only good is what i think..

I am just saying that paying $300 for 4 pieces of molded plastic seems to be a fairly bad, say, "price-to type/amount of product", compared to spending $300 on say a new intake or one wheel to a set of 4.
