Default Anyone use window shades?

I wanna buy a set for my sc for the rear window. My tint has some small bubbles so I wanna replace it with one of these instead of redoing my tint. Cheapest set I can find was like $70 plus shipping. Was looking to spend less. Anywho, how well do these work? They look nice, more elegant than tint. Saw a newer Audi suv with it on the road and liked it a lot.
Anyone know where I can find a set for our cars? Thanks!

My LS430 came with one of these. Back when I didn't have tint it really came in handy during the bright sunny mornings and at night when people with bright headlights get behind you.

I've never thought about putting one in an SC before. It would be pretty cool to have. The newer GS' have these sun shades as well.

Is there a minimum quantity needed for ordering? Count me in if there's a group buy.

Kira, how are these at night? Do they reduce visibility?
Im looking for non-electrical set. Might just have to cough up the dough for the one I saw before.
Sorry mods but my phone seems to have posted the thread twice. Can the other be locked please? Thank you.s

durps, I have rear window shades on my other car, and I really like them. Visibility isn't bad IMO...I was actually looking for a set for my SC I really didn't want to do the tint in the rear, because it makes the defrost lines stand out too much? lol...I'm funny about those little things. I've even tossed around the idea of making a set, but I needed to find the shade larger enough for our window? Hey the shade you're looking at, is it specific to the SC rear window? Hey let us know what you find out/come up with?

Hey steve, thanks for the visibility info.
No unfortunately it isn't specific but does have the right dimensions to fit. 39inches wide and an adjustable length of 36 inches but we need to qdjust it to about 22 inches.
Here's the link.
