Default Rear sun shade for 2nd Gen

All,

Is there a shade available for the GS430 that can be put on the rear window? Not talking about the electrical but something with suction cups and does not look cheap? Anyone here have one? maybe some pictures?

Thanks

Well, you cna try to make your own.
See if you can find the material that are used for sunshades. Cut to fit the back window and use suction cups.

ceramic tint would be HOT! I know it is extremely expensive for doing tint....but in the long run...your leather will be more protected, its not as hot when you get inside the car by reflection the sun(heat) a lot better.
