Default 2nd gen Rear Window shade; can I get one?

I have a 98 GS300; can we 2nd gen's get a hold of an interior rear window shade that would fit? i.e. like the LS400, Mercedes, BMW's offer(ed).
Maybe even have it made...?!

why?... it's ugly.. looks like the suction cup shades soccer moms put on their windows so the kids in the back seat don't get sunburned or something.. just tint your window.

Maybe if it was a form fitting sunshade it would look better but IMHO it looks cheap and tacky. Too big of a gap on both sides.

believe i saw a glimpse of some sort of a rearshade on BIG TY's car. I dont see the point of sunshade when it still leaves 3inch gaps on each side?

Is OP against tint?
