Anyone know where to get the best UV Shade for the 07 TL-S??

I'm having a hard time finding a darn quality UV shade for my new TL-S... The $20 ones I've seen look too cheap... I want something that will really resist heat... I'm willing to spend $80 on it. Let me know guys (please provide link). Thank you!

The UV shade is a hassle......way don't you tint the windsheld with a 20% or 35% UV tint and that will save the interior and also keep cool year round.

Exactly! I was actually in the process for LAPD, LASD and PPD, but withdrew so I can finish school, eh. I wouldn't want to have a windshield tint fix it ticket to ruin my chances one day, ah!

I'm still looking for an high-end windshield shade...

Btw, most places won't tint the windshield... they wouldn't want to deal with the legal issues that may arise...

I use a product from Covercraft called UVS 100. It's custom fitted to the car and costs about $50 or so for the TL. The fit is really good and there is only a half inch gap on each of the 4 sides when it's up on the windshield. Only drawback is that it's hard and takes up some space in the back seat. Check this link:

http://www.covercraft.com/windshield_heat_shield.htm

Also, I found out about this product on this forum so if you do a search for "covercraft", I'm sure you'll read other opinions.

I just ordered a HeatShield for my TL-S. I had one for my Accord and it worked great. HeatShield is an automotive windshield reflector, custom designed to fit the shape of each car model's windshield.

Here is a link to their site. It explains more about it in detail.

It sells for $34.99 through their website. You can also buy it through H and A Accessories for $19.99. http://handaccessories.com/tl.html

+1. I use the same shield and it works great. Bought it at autogeek.net for $60. The shield is fit to the car but they don't have the 07 TL-S as a choice. I just bought the one that fits the 06 TL and it works well. I have the black/silver interior and was worried about the interior getting really hot, but this shield seems to keep out alot of the heat.

Would the UVS 100 fit the '07 TL-S?? It won't list when I place the '07 model... How does the two heat shield covers compare?

Gunghosam, thanks man! Unfortunately...it's not my style. lol!

I'm looking for the high quality one that folds like a zig-zag. Like the UVS100, but trying to order one is a hassle through the site...
