Cool The sunshade...

Even with the 20% tint and the sunshade, this is what it looks like in full sunlight. Looks like the leather headrests are taking a beating from the sun.
Sorry, use the Sun Shade folder to view since Yahoo photos is a piece of garbage!

This must be that new invisible tint and sunshade I've been hearing about, because I don't see anything.... J/K

I think the red X looks pretty good for my shade; it's the freakin Yahoo photos host, it never holds up. It's free so I won't complain too much.

Hit the link and use the Sun Shade folder to view.

looks nice, but i think as long as u are looking out from the inside, it will always seem light, i'd like to see a pic of the rear from the outside in.

I have some other photos posted in my other folders at Yahoo. I have the pictures you are looking for; the Acura Debadged folder will show it; check the debadged pics. I'll take a better pic and post it later. Here's the link:

Tim does not sell it. You can email a guy called ValueTL and he can get it from Japan.

It looks nice but does not come in any other color than the black. I opted to go without because I have a parchment interior.

Bummer.

By the way, ValueTL charges $125 + $20 for shipping. IMHO worth it for sunny or hot climates.

You really can't see it from the outside with my tint, so it is not for standing out. Your leather headrests will start to crack if you live in a sunny state. All the shade does is give you more protection. Also, it gives more shade for the kids who sit in the back of my car.
I just got my body kit; that is a mod for standing out

Yeah, he will hook you up. The part is only available in Japan right now. He has some connections for all Inspire (TL in Japan) accessories.

I found a place that had a reasonable price about $175 and a lifetime warranty.
The back is 20% and the side windows are all 35%. I just chose the standard color because the California code said it was legalized for sun protection.
