I voted to leave it alone because I personally would never do it, but surprise us and do something nobody else here has

Only cars with flat rear windows pull it off. Why not get a Mercedes style rear window shade?

thanx for the comments and votes everyone but ive already contacted astra hammond about making a one off shade for the sc, if i indeed go through with it believe me pics and more will be posted, as well as a possible group by, but i tried photochop and really couldn't get a good rendering of how i think it should look on the sc, but it also might look more of a VIP style mod then anything else, ill just have to see when i get mine ill keep yah posted

oh and heres a better image of what it might look like

^^^i think it has those horizontal slots to prevent complete loss of function thus is not "completely useless".

Please leave it alone. I've always thought these things look absolutely retarded, regardless of what car has it, or whether or not is was offered from the factory.
