I use the weathertech in channel visors.Only ones i found for our cars.Sleak low profile.look..Besure to install them right and keep the window positioned as they state in the instructions.

http://www.weathertech.com/store/mvp...=638&Year=2006 ..$99.99 plus shipping for rear set ONLY if u get the set so Ied assume close to the 114 you listed

Thanks, I will take your advice and get these.
The only other item that I will be buying for the moment is the painted mudguards for now. In the future, I will be putting in a sub (only have an XL 9 spk setup) but i want one that sits on the rear deck, but if i get the rear deck one I have to get a jbl rear deck with the grill (Grey interior) if anyone knows where i can get one.

Used both in channel (from WeatherTech) and other outside with tape on my other cars.

WeatherTech is expensive but fit well. THE PROBLEM with the in Channel style is 95% time you will lose the Auto feature. As I mentioned on other forum, the windows autoup will go back down right away as if it was jam. To me the usage is more important since I am in Seattle and it rain a bit and I like fresh air over AC.

The outside tape style works OK but not as good looking as the in channel and it started to peel off after 13 years on my Camry

Go with WeatherTech (smoke) you will like the style. Just remember to pull your window up without the 1 touch feature

I also have the WeatherTech ones. They're great. Never had a problem with one touch either.

WeatherTech all the way! I had them on the Rolla, and they were AWESOME! I want to get some for the Avalon, but I need to wait for a while. I would look for coupons online for these as well. Sometimes sites like JC Whitney or Autogeek will have a deal that beats ordering them direct. However, ordering direct is a surefire way to be sure they fit correctly.

I noticed the Auto up will come back down oNLY if the window is alil dirty as it prolly jams the window alil but it works 90% of the time.also if you set the window right when installing them you should be good.Best visors.
