Default Side Visors

Who has the side visors and likes them? http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2174

I like the way they look and was wondering if there was any increased wind noise or anything negative you can think of if you have them.

Don't like them, but I would imagine they would add drag, and therefore noise. However, the IS is pretty well insulated, so go with what you like.

The price is a bit high. Just assume cause it's "Lexus"

It's easy to install. Very straight forward.

I've had Weathertech vent visors on others cars and presently on the wife's RAV4.I decided not to put a set on the IS.If I did,I'd go with Weathertech.
Quality product with a choice of light or dark tint.
$95 a set.www.weathertech.com

Weathertech maybe cheaper, but I'll stick to the JDM OEM ones. Its like comparing Hollister vs. Old Navy IMO and plus the JDM ones just look a lot better too IMO

I never had a problem with installation with Weathertechs on any of my vehicles or family member's vehicles.
