Default Side window sunshade?

Greetings fellow LS 430 forum members...

...just wondering, besides tinting, are there any good sunshade options out there for the side windows? HeatShield makes custom-fit shades for the Prius, Accord etc. side windows...however it seems not for the LS 430, and for that matter, their canvasworks.com site does not even list anything other than the front windshield shades. For those LS 430s that are not UL-equipped with the OEM retractable shades...I suppose buying those suction-cup versions are the only option besides tinting? There are also Window Sox but that goes both inside and outside the vehicle window frames.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Why not just tint, more attractive than suction cup shades???

Tint tint baby... ain't nothing better than tint for side windows, short of the OEM pull up sunshades. Suction just makes the LS look cheap.

Tint is the way to go. Keep in mind of interior color too because I have black interior with 20% back and 50% front and they look almos the same shade. My friend's 550 has cream interior, with 33% all around, but they look so light.
