Default Where to get Sunshades?

Does anyone know anywhere that offers retractable sunshades custom to our cars. or any other ones that look nicer then those massive fold ups. I did some searching already. there were a few that were non specific to our car but I was just wondering what else is out there.

Window tinting works better i.m.o It's what I have and I have no problems day or night. Solves the issue without the expense and hassle.

They currently have a 10% off special going on right now. The SC400 shade ran me $37.40 shipped.

I have a crappy, cheesy Wal-Mart one for $2 bucks...I need to get a better and decent one...it's just a pain to do, doesn't fold up well LOL, sometimes I've got a whole sunshade lose in my car...then getting it into the back completely or partially unfolded...LDL

i know they had some universal ones they used to sell at schucks..i dont know if you can still find them somewhere, but i thought they looked pretty decent. they just attached to the a pillar and the shade pulled out over the windshield, right? i havent seen or heard of anything like that custom done..but i think those should fit fine. if not..you can do some slight modifications then.

I've never seen or heard of a "retractible" sunshade for the windshield. This would involve a moderate-to-major mod, depending upon what you are looking for. A user here did a rear-window mod that worked pretty well but required removing the rear deck and modding it.

Personally, I wouldn't even consider this. A good, custom-made sunshade can be had for less than $50 and provides full coverage.

That Aristo Electric sunshade looks good as hail...I want one in the SC but it might no' work.

Would a BMW electric window shade fit?

This one looks interesting! I would like to see it on a SC. On my earlier post, I thought you meant the rear window. Tinting would not even be legal in the states for the front windshield.
