Default Sun Shades for hot LS 460

My LS 460 has been getting excruciating hot I leave it outside in the sun. I want to keep this car up to par for as long as possible. Is anyone using any front window and side window shades that are easy to place in the 460 LS on a hot sunny day. These look cool but don't know if it would fit or work right.

Just get a good tint like 3M crystalline including your windshield. It will help with the heat and also block a ton of uv A and B.

I have Eclipse brand retractable windshield shades on two of our cars (Dodge Charger and Nissan Altima) and they work well........ My LS does not sit outside for long periods so there are no shades but I have 35% tint all the way around.

I bought a Covercraft custom sunshade in June and am very pleased with it.

Solid construction, fits the LS windshield perfectly, easy to install and remove, and looks very durable.

Perfect timing, Covercraft looks nice, will look into it. Is there any sun shades that would cover the front side windows as well?.

I researched a few products before settling on the Covercraft. I don't know of any product specifically for the front windows other than a very heavy tint. I bought the following static cling window shades for my previous LS (my 2014 LS has power rear window shades), and I sometimes use them for the front windows. Not large enough, but helps somewhat.

My 87 year old friend has a Sun Shade that says "LEXUS" across it for her 2010 LS 460 AWD SWB. It is the only one I have ever seen and have not been able to find it online anyplace. She is in a home now and cannot remember where she got it. I think she got it at Lexus of Tulsa which is where she traded in 08 LS for her 2010 LS but I have never seen one on display at any Lexus dealerships.

While searching, I believe I saw some vendors who would print specific logos across the shade.

Maybe it was something Lexus of Tulsa had made up to give to their customers because I have never seen another one.

I just checked and Covercraft is selling customized shades only for Ford. Yeah, the dealer probably bought those customized.
