Got my new Covercraft Sunshade!!!

After 2 weeks, I finally received my Covercraft Sunshades. All I want to know, why did I wait this long to order them. These are by far the best shades I've owned. All these years I was putting up with those stupid ones I got from Autozone or wherever else. These Covercraft ones are sturdy, fold nicely and neatly, and fit perfectly in the dash/windshield with barely any gap. These are a must have for you folks with intense summer sun...

p.s. note that I got it in the new "silver" color to match my Silver Moon. I also ordered one for my Kona Blue 5.0, in blue, to somewhat accent my Kona Perfect fit too.

Thx man. Yeah they are custom fit specifically for each model year vehicle. So it's not a case of one size fits all. Perfect fit. I highly recommend them.

Looks like great quality. If my car wasn't in a garage all day I would probably get one.

Indeed. That's why I got them. My buddies from other car forums highly recommended them. Essentially for quality sunshades, it's either HeatShield or Covercraft. I went with Covercraft because they were sturdier and folded nicely, the HeatShield ones fit good too, but they roll up during storage. Common sense would dictate that not only would they be softer/flimsier, but would also (over time) tend keep rolling up on the side corners, resulting in not covering the windshield edges completely.

And given that, I'm reeeeally glad I went with Covercraft. The quality is amazing. No more autozone specials. Fuck those.

Looks great. I ordered one last weekend from Amazon for $48. It's good to see that it's a quality product.

Yes, it is. And I enjoy it tremendously. It is constantly on my car along with my 10% tint and the car stays pretty cool in the Florida sun. Thanks again for such a good deal.

50 bucks is a small price to pay for not having to mess with those cheap ones. Love mine!

Welcome to the CoverCraft club, OP.
Apparently, you've missed my post before as I said "well-worth $50 spending"
It does really help and it looks good too.

Not sure where you posted, but i sure did miss it. But yes I frickin love those shades for both my cars. Whenever I get into my car, I can just tell that it was significantly less hot than with my old shades.

No biggie, bro, I posted 2 years ago in the first summer .
Like you, I used to have those cheap made $10 at auto part, very clumsy, then I made a move with the new shade. Funny thing was when parking at work, a lot of coworkers turned their head, not because of my new shiny TSX but 'cuz of the perfect fit CoverCraft shade, LOL

You have to remember that things go in and out of sale constantly. When I bought mine, autogeeks was cheaper. If it's not cheaper now or flipped, so be it. Get whatever you want, wherever you want.

Got mine in yesterday and holy crap it's amazing! The fit is perfect and sits perfectly with only the visors unlike the crappy ones. Works well in particular because the dash is so long on Hondas.

I highly recommend it to anyone. I'll snap a picture with it tomorrow.

I hear all the rave about the perfect fitment and looks but does is significantly lower the heat coming inside the car - enough to warrant the $50 tag...

I hate it when the leather seats gets too damn hott, its only may and I know its about to get hotter...thinking about jumping on the band wagon

Jump.

And yes perfect fitment plus uv protection = bandwagon worthy of jumping on. I can't all these years I was putting up with those pieces of shit sunshades from Walmart or autozone. I feel like I wasted 20 years of my life. Lol

No problem, but you should remember if you're giving advice on where to buy it now, it should be based on what the price currently is... not what it once might have been... I'm not biting your head off or anything, just saying...

Dude seriously. If you're not smart enough to check the damn prices on several sites, then you should buy the most expensive one. I don't give a flying fuck whether you or other people buy the damn shades from vendor A or vendor B. In fact I don't give 2 shits worth either if you buy it or not in general. I just posted this thread almost a month ago to let others know what a great sunshade these are...and NOT to buy it from autogeek. If you read each post in this thread, I responded to someone's question for where I bought it in the first place.

You have 4 posts in this forum and you are wasting it on semantics? Seriously. What the fuck. Move on dude.

Thank you (I think).... Unless you were sarcastic...lol

It's just that people like that want to waste their and my time with useless posts like that. Not even really related to the main topic at hand. They just want to post just to post.... Not sure if it's attention or what. Either way, useless.
