Covercraft Sunshield from TIM(AKA: Snook)

I got my Covercraft sunshield last Friday for my TL-S and let me tell you guy's, this here is a quality product. It's a high qualty piece that unfold's perfectly fit the front windshield and that it does! I love it, very nice. For those of you who use other after market sunshield's, I wonder if it covers the whole window from top to bottom as the TL has a rather long windshield. If it doesn't, this will. And as usual, Tim ships them out a lightning speed. There's simply no one better, no one faster then Tim, thank you Tim

And now only if UPS can actually get the body kit delivered to me Tim and I would have to have a party to celebrate that occasion

FYI: The sunshield is in the accessories section on top.

Tim is the best. Many of the products he sells for our cars, he would put it on his car first and if not up to the quality and perfection that he expects, he would never sell it. That's the confidence anyone can have when buying from Tim. We all know he sells the best quality for the best price.

This sounds like a broken record Tim is the Customer Service Zen Master.

You're gonna see him doing infomercials soon....

I started my business with $20, a pocket knife and a roll of duct tape. Today I am the world leader in marketing automtive accessories. And I can show you how I did it....for just 4 easy payment of $79.99

"A C U R A 3.2 T L"

Get that on it along with the door sills, and it'll sell like hotcakes.

I thought there was an "Acura" or "Acura TL" logo on the sunshield? If there is, I would definitely ditch that piece of cardboard I'm using and get one. I must say, that sunshield really has a perfect fit. Very nice.

You are a strong, strong man...

The heat shield has definitely cut down on the heat while I'm parked at work! Whew! it's gotta be about 10 deg. cooler with the shields on.

When I get my Inspire rear window sunshades, I'll really be in business! Coming soon...

Hey Daverman, I noticed your using the visors to hold the sunshade up. Here's what I do. I grab the Covercraft shade at the top around the mirror area and kind of wedge it between the glass and headliner (doesn't take allot of effort). It stay's and keep's the shade flush against the glass. I still have the visors down just incase they come loose. I like the idea of it being flush to the glass better. When I get a chance I definitely will but you can attach a clip like piece on each side to hold the shade up instead of the wedge technique.

Dam, I'm jealous. If I didn't drop my $450 Digital Cam a week ago, that could have been my car on the accessory page

I just got stock in last week and they all were for orderes we already had, so I don't have any to bring to the screen priinting shop till end of next week

But I already provide them with the 2 images I am going to use
www.acura-tl.com and the Type S logo
When they send me the samples, I will post pictures and get feed back before placing the order for more

Looks sweet Edub, nice job.

Tim The Type-S logo isnt going to be huge is it?? Small and subtle would look classier IMHO. Maybe 4" x 11" in the drivers side lower corner?? What do you guys think?

Yeah, I would agree - something small would have more appeal to me....

Looking forward to seeing pics! thanks Tim!

Ok, so what about those of us who have radar detectors semi-permanently mounted on the visor or near the top of the windshield near the rear-view mirror, will this sunshield work without removing the radar detector?

Probably not, Even now I have to remove my V1 to use my current flimsy one.
