He might be referring to the Sun-Visor but I could be mistaken.

if you've ever bought a sunshade made for a specific car you'd never buy a cheap sunshade again.... Usually the dealers have them in the parts department...but its a shade that perfectly fits your window...its like 20-30 bucks tho =X but it does keep the sunlight out of every corner of the front winsheild...

Wow, I don't remember disagreeing with you Henry, but now I do - a decent one is a perfect fit for the windshield, and doesn't leave exposed gaps at the edges.

I got mine through this #: 1-800-777-6405 (on the shade itself). I've had 3 now, one for the last 3 cars, and my wife had one for her RX300 when she had that. They're about $30 I think.

hahaha nah, i remember the few occasions in the past you didn't agree with me. yes, i wrote them down!

well if you get a smaller one or so of course. but the one i got is only a tad bigger than the windshield so i have no problem covering anything. i looked at the lexus one before, but after looking at the sizes i couldn't justify the price tag

but i agree, on certain cars, you need specific ones. rx is one of them, HUGE windshield

Thanks for the number. I'll check it out. 30 isnt too bad. The sunshade for my wifes C class was 50

Rominl I have the cheap 5 dollar ones too but they are too flimsy and do not cover the area well. I am surprised with the amount money you have spent your GS that you cheap out on a sunshade!

I dont blame you, the sunshade doesnt bring too much exitement in to your car I dont think its considered a mod either LOL. I think i will look into a wood steering wheel as my first mod.
