Here you go. Not sure if I can get a better install. This is what I got from the 1st try (Wind is crazy outside). Seems ok, I didnt really expect 100% fit. Quality is good, mesh looks the same as OEM rear, they dont look like they will fall out. You can open the window (not recommended to open 100%, maybe 50% is ok), I haven't tried opening while driving fast. Shipping was quick from UK, you dont have to get rear, ask for sides only and it will be a better price.

I got them form blinds4cars, you can contact the seller on Facebook. Its the same product as carshades

Looks pretty good. Is it pretty easy to install and take them off? Not sure if I should do it for the AZ summers ...

Yes it's easy, petty much just pull them out. The only issue is that top clip which is attached by tape and can get loose. Worst case you would need to apply another sticky tape on it.

They look good from inside if u don't want to deal with tinting

Kolyan,

They look great. Looking at getting some myself. Will be wanting the rear as well since my IS doesn't come with the rear power shade.

Congrats!

Rear window fit could be more complicated. I think it's a 2 piece, not sure

I recently ordered a set from blinds4cars.com for my 2012 IS-F. There are two versions of the shades: one for 2005-2012, and the other for 2012 and newer. Since I have a 2012, which one should I pick?

Apparently I chose poorly - while the shades for the side windows fit fine, the ones for the rear window actually cover up the brake light. There is a cutout in the shades for a brake light bit the cutout is too low.



Other than that the fitment is good. Overall I'm happy with my purchase.
