Scored some JDM Vent Visors!!

I'm pretty darn excited right now, I've been looking for factory Toyota JDM vent visors forever now and finally picked a set up off eBay and I feel like I got a deal. I priced them from a source at $350 to ship, I bought these used for $59 shipped. I'll post pics when them come in, I'M STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on man, try finding a set of JDM Toyota ventvisors. Toyota won't import them into the US so you can't get them. It's nearly impossible to find somebody that will pull them so it's pretty rare unless you're from the far east.

One has a cracked corner but who cares, hard to find!

i know it said you need new double sided tape, but are they also attached with brackets? i see something in the pictures that looks like brackets, just wondering how they are held on?

good score, you'll definitely stick out a bit more now!

They are big...I'm interested to see how they look mounted on your 4Runner. Not my cup of tea, but hey, It's not my truck .

Glad you found something you've been looking for.

I'll find out when they get here but I think it's both. My factory Honda ones had clips and tape also.

Why do you want so much chrome and stuff on your truck? It's personal preference and I like these a lot. Rather you not post if not a positive or neutral statement if you don't mind. There are lots of trucks here I really like and more than enough I don't but I think it's rude to post something negative about somebody's taste which is why I refrain from doing so.

In the 3rd Gen pics forums you see all kinds and I've always admired the JDM goodies we can't get here except every great once in a while. Oh well, to each his own.

Definetly a bit more effective than our smaller ventvisors but they just look funny like they don't fit the truck;I guess I'm glad some stuff stays JDM.

They are definitely bigger but that's what I'm after. I was thinking of the in channel style if I couldn't find these but I got lucky. I'd love to have the rear upper wing with the power mirror that drops down and the rear tire carrier but I'm sure that won't ever happen.

Good find!
All the imported Surfs have them over here. They look great fitted, when viewed from outside, but personally I'm not keen on the view to the underside when sitting inside. The bracket is very visible. The Yota logo is nice touch though.
Post some pics when you install them.

OK, see the area on the left side of the wing? It is a power mirror that drop down.

When I get the visors mine will look almost identical to this one. Same color and wheels but I have a TJM-T15 on the front and no rear wing like this one, just the little stock thing.
