Arrow Know of Anyplace to Get Window Curtains? Sunshade?

Hi everyone, I'm in the market for some curtains for my '03 Acura CL. I want some quality curtains, black, so it'll match my interior (ebony).

Do you have any experience with these? I was also planning on getting a retractable sunshade for the back window. I would also like some help with that too.

Thanks for the help

I would just like some curtains in order to 'blackout' whenever I need to, ESPECIALLY in 100F+ weather. This will also help with heat control.

Also, I bought the custom fit foil/foam sunshade for the front windscreen on the RDX. WOW, what a difference, the car was easily 15-20deg cooler than without it (25% tint on all windows).

I have a OEM sunshade for the front window, now I'm looking for a retractable one for the back or something of that nature

why not? I'm not too fond of them, but since my car is tinted and the interior black, it'll be hard to notice the curtains when they're rolled up.

I'm getting curtains for the convenience of blocking out the sun and for privacy whenever needed.

Junction Produce makes curtains popular in VIP cars. Not sure what size you'd need for the CL, but I'm sure you can find them and the sizes online. They are expensive, but at least you can pass them off as for style as well.

Ya, I think that's what I'm most likely going to go with. I only see 2 sizes, small and medium. They look nice at least

Those aren't curtains. That's called a sunshade.

These are curtains
