Question 2010 LS 460 windshield sunshade reco?

Anyone have a preferred brand of windshield sunshade? I'm looking one from High End motorsports

The one reviewer on amazon for the Heatshield brand said that although it was cut for an LS 460 it's too big and hard to get into position.

Any good/bad experiences?

I just use the general sun shade.

And i have the vent shades and it keeps the car pretty cool. I have left the windows up and the sunshade out and it gets ten times hotter. You don't need anything fancy, just something to protect the dash.

Cool

Not sure if you have a Costco near you, but the units they sell are quite good and work well from my experience. Get the large size, and it ends up being similar to the one that 99rx posted, but I believe they are thicker material. My friend has the one you were looking at for his car and hates it. Said that it's too thick and that if you crack the foil it starts to peel. For $40, that's pretty bad. The Costco unit is about $13 IIRC.
