Well the more I see them the more I have to laugh. Just not my cup of tea, but its cool that everyone has their own style, so thumbs up there. I guess If I moved back home to SOCAL (diego), I might have to snag some. But these TN peps already look at a fellow caliy boy funny! Rock on bra!

I'm feelin the curtains, but only if your car is VIP. Don't think it would flow with a sports themed GS. Any pics of the curtains fully unfurled and not bunched?

Same here, it didn't sound like something I'd like, I was a little surprised to be really feeling it. Definately something I'd look into if I'm ever VIP enough to make it flow.

It's too bad Anceltion flopped. They had really cheap curtains and they looked pretty good, too.

For those who have curtains, what do you guys use to mount them onto the doors? I remember reading a thread how someone used some sort of gel glue to stick them on since the included tape didn't really work out due to how short the curtains were or something..

this wasnt a problem with the garsons. the 3m tape works fine. you just have to make sure you clean the mount location with alcohol before you try to attach them.

there is a time and a place for everything... window curtains included... i like them, but it reminds me of all the old lady's driving around in j-pan with gloves on that went up to their forearms and huge sun visor hats on with these curtains on their old toyota crowns driving around and scared of the sun...! also found on many a toyota crown taxi. the neck rest pillows are a nice touch (slight vip-- not overkill) that you don't see to much out here, well not sure about cali though its been a while since i was last there.. i think these curtains would only work with certain color cars and i don't think white is one of them.

but in japan almost everyone who had these curtains didn't have tint now that i remember, hence needing the curtains to block out the sun. so i say tint or curtains but why both, you gonna ride around with your windows down and the curtains pulled out?? hmmm... i choose tint, but maybe one day when i'm older and wiser and decide to have a car without tint then i may have to sport a pair. i can picture this being somewhat of a gansta addition to a car riding around in china town after dark.. if i had uzi's and ar15's i would probably also have to get a pair, tint or not!!! and to be honest with you guys only my own opinion again, all the real real 893 types i have ever seen didn't even have tint, most only had like 17's or 18's not chrome just alloy nothing flashy, and guess what they were being driven not driving...
