Default Side window deflectors/visors - Toyota or Weathertech?

Does anybody have the (genuine) Toyota or Weathertech side window deflectors/visors? Any other better brands? How does it install (adhesive or ?)? How is the quality? Is lighter or darker tint better on a Silver car w. no tint on windows? Just trying to figure out if they'll look ok on my car, and which (Toyota or Weathertech) is better. Pictures would be appreciated.

We've used the Weathertech ones (in the channel not the stick on's) for several years now on all our vehicles and would use nothing else. The stick on ones look like real add on's where the in channel ones look like they were meant for the vehicle.

We use the light colored ones, but dark ones would be fine too.

I would get the weathertech ones. I like the light smoked ones since you are able to see out of them better and would look better since you don't have tinted windows. Also, the weathertech ones are in-channel and don't stick out as much like the stick on ones.

Weathertech all the way!

Does anyone know whether the Toyota ones are in-channel or tape installed?

Anybody have experience with other brands?
