    I see some I really like that are a matte finish and some that I don’t care for too much that look bulky. Which ones are you rocking? Looking for something low profile and not glossy

    I think you might be talking about the hood ones? If no, the in channel window ones are a much lower profile than I was expecting. That's a good thing to me. Just got them a couple weeks back and have been enjoying them.

    My bad for not clarifying I was talking about the window ones. Got any pics of yours went to go buy at advanced auto parts but they didn’t look like the ones I’ve seen pictures so now I’m a little hesitant

    I was looking at these the other day but the Amazon reviews scared me away. A lot were coming scratched & warped...some people said the rears like flap in the wind kinda when on the freeway.

    I've had the weathertech ones on my 2nd gen for a few years now and had them on my first gen as well and love them.

    Cool! No worries. These are the only two pics that I have from removing the logo.

    Got them from Amazon:

    In-channel only for me. Those glue on the paint ones always crack. Can't miss them, always one of them broken or missing. The In-channels dont suffer this as much.

    After much debate, I went with in channel smoked AVS. The 72 hour, leave the windows, closed is accurate. I had to put down a window before the 72 hour window (pardon the pun). Got a bang from the window going back up but fortunately that was all. After the 72 hours, never had another problem with them. No banging. Did remove the AVS logo. They were scratched but not too badly and after a few weeks, didn't even notice the scratches unless I happen to be looking at them from inside the vehicle and the sun or another light source is shining through them. I haven't tried an automatic car washer but generally try to avoid those anyway as they can be hard on the paint. The stick on ones look tacky to me. The debate was over which would last longer. It was a tough decision those deciding between them. Since I drive a white truck, the dark visors give the truck some contrast.

    Mine looks identical to tonered's except white paint.

    I have those exact ones. No flapping, been on a year and a half without any issues... came from Amazon in perfect condition, not all scratched up.

    That’s exactly what I’m looking for thanks for the pic and the link. The link took me to Toyota accessories do you have an exact link or part number for those so I can try Amazon? Thanks

    I have the AVS in channel low profile matte ones. Took Amazon 3 times to deliver an acceptable one. First one was cracked, and the second one had scratches. I don't think it's Amazon's problem, but More so how they were packaged.
    I haven't had any complaints with them, and they've been on for 2 years. Easy install too. Didn't have to recalibrate my power windows.

    Good stuff. Those are different than mine, but I had only one choice for the AccessCab. I think you will be happy with them though. Such nice features. The truck has been much cooler and no windshield fogging during some rain.
