Question Sun Shade

I just bought a '03 TL-S APB. It get kinda hot in there if it out in the sun for a long time. I want to get tints but I dont know how dark or light I should get. I dont want it to dark. If anyone has pictures that would be great. Also, I need a Sun Shade. Does Comptech make one or does anyone know of a sun shade that fits the tl-s.

I just went to a local Target and bought one of those foil typ ones for $13. You need to look at the SUV (large) sized ones due to the large windshield on the TL/CL.

Third row center

or... for a really good sunshade, scroll almost all the way down to the Covercraft section. A little more $$, but fits perfect as it's made for our car.....

I don't know how I posted twice about that topic .
I know I posted that I got mine last week & I love it.
Make sure you get the CoverCraft UV shield that is at the bottom of the Accessory page for $54.00 This is the best one with a perfect fit for our cars. I also got the optional storage bag to go with it. The bag is vinyl that will help protect the shield when not in use.

Go with 35% tint--not too dark, not too light. During the daytime only the silhouette of the driver can be seen (depending on the light angles); at night, you have to look closely to see the driver.

I have 20% and that's enough.

Go to the tinters and ask them to see samples of the tint and check out also the cars they're tinting at the time. You'll be able to get an idea.

I just ordered mine. I was in and out of my silver/ebony TLS from noon to 2pm. Heat was killing me. Ordered the shield, and going to investigate getting my tinting done while I'm at beach two weeks from now.

I purchased a shade at Tischer Acura two weeks ago. It is made for the car and covers the entire windshield. Their price was $34.99, but they sold it to me for $25.00
