Default What sunshade do you use for your GS

I'm talking about those reflective sunscreens you put up in windshield when car is parked.
Is there a generic one that fits our cars or do the special ones(like this ) really fit better?

I use the one I had from my previous car which I bought at Pep boys and it fits perfectly.... Costed me $10.... if you go through dealership, you will be paying $35. I got the silver folding one and it works perfectly.

Wal-Mart, silver/metallic for $10 and folds down to size of frisbee. Cover 90% of the windshield.

I use the one in your link and, of course, if fits perfectly. Also very durable. In South Florida sunshades are important, especially if your car is exposed everyday. To me it was worth getting the dealer sunshade because it does fit like a 'glove,' and my car gets exposed everyday to the bright South Florida sun.

yea i picked up a 10 dollar one from pep boys. just make sure it has your car type on the back. i remember my homeboy bought one for his clk500 n it was too small. after looking at the package n the label in the back his car wasn't even listed on there. oh well it ended up in his mom honda civic lx it fit like a champ there lol

I use( heatshield )by canvas works, and man at $35 bucks a piece it is worth every penny. It fits the whole windshield, and all i have to do is flip down my visor to secure it to the windshield. No sunlight gets in at all, and when i say it fits, i mean it's like custom fit with out the lexus logo on it.
They are running a special, buy2 for any car at $30 bucks a piece thats a total of $60 bucks, and $10 dollars in savings.
