Default Door sun shades?

Looked around but could not find anything.
Does anyone make sun shades for our cars for the rear doors? I love the factory one in the back, would be cool to have rear doors done as well. I think LS430 Ultra had it.

It would be cool but they are built into the door panel itself on the ultra so I don't know how easy it woukd be or factory it can look

Yeah is a wonderful feature, but we sadly dont have it. The only thing out there is a VIP curtain, which I personally don't like. If someone did make it, it would require the door to be changed and altered.

i have seen them, but i don't know of any north american retailers or suppliers that carries it. you could check this website to see if they have any application for our GS:

http://www.carshades.com.au/

edit: website shows no application for lexus, but you could try and see if there are any applications from toyota that might work. alternatively, send an email to the manufacturer and see if there is a lexus application. sometimes they might have it but not update their website.

curtains only work if you're vipped out.

So these guys still dont have anything for us. I emailed them but I doubt something will come out of it.

Any other options?
