I apologize for the crap pic!

The bar across the seat is the sunshade. It's a mesh screen that rolls up to two hooks at the top of the window. Power ones are found in MBs and BMWs. I'll see if I can get a pic of it rolled up. I just installed it so my garage is dark so it's kinda hard to see.

Here's a pic of songoku's rear sunshade rolled up. It's a pic taken during the day so you can see what it looks like:

Thanks! It took less than an hour to install. It wasn't cheap, $230 including shipping, because it's only available in Japan (that's why it took so long to come in). Sure a tint job is cheaper and more effective but I'm trying to do as much of the JDM conversion as possible (check my signature).

I'm getting VERY close to getting the mother of Inspire items installed, the bumper. Actually the Inspire rear wing with camera is probably THE mother of Inspire items!

That's crazy for spending that much on a shade.

I don't get the whole JDM conversion thing, the cars are made in America, yea there is a Japanese version, but the cars are more American than Japanese.

i got the installation manual for the wing with camera, is about 30 page, after looking at it i agree is the mother of inspire items (in terms on installation)

Pssst, read the first sentence in the first post again.

BTW- Sunshade looks cool. For some reason I thought the Inspire sunshade was powered but I guess not ...

I think I'll stick with regular window tint though for the price

It is funny though, The TL and the Inspire are both made in the US.

Also the "Honda of america eagle"?
...Don't know if I'm really feeling that.

Your car does look tight. I've had the Mugen Wing for over a month now; seeing your car makes me want to get it installed right now.

By the way do you have a kit yet? I can't seem to find any other pics of your car other then the one of your car in the gerage
