Yeah I have that first one on my car. I got a good deal on it back when there weren't many sellers. After a while though I did have to use some rubber cement to stick it back down on the corners because pollen loosened up the tape's bond somehow.... Stupid spring time.

But other than that the fitment is pretty good

Hmmm. One of them wants $100 to ship to Canada. The other one won't ship to Canada. I guess I'll pass.

what is this ^^^? I though your car was black?

That does look great though, I might have to put the engine/trans build on hold for a while and get some cosmetics done.

Original makers were HIC.. i saw one on ebay and i knew it was gonna be sold quick so i bought it. Sent me the wrong one contacted them and they sent another one right away. Good customer service. The fitment on mine was nearly perfect except that one of edges do not fit.. Maybe i put it on wrong?

IIRC "cool's japan" was the brand. in all my years browsing YAJ, ive never seen one for sale, which is why i ended up going with origin and then the hic one. the cool's japan is the cleanest by far.

I guess I'll be the voice of dissent today ... I don't like either of them. My reasons for not biting are as follows:

1) Too small. I want something that is functional while making the car loog good as well. These shades are too small to help keep the rear deck cool.

2) Both shades appear to be made of that same cheap-looking acylic that those side window shades are made of. IMHO it cheapens the look of the vehicle.

3) Along with 2) above the lack of color choices is a detractor.


IMHO these are just glorified $100+ side shades. If they sold them so that they came in OEM colors (Like my DWP) and were deeper (protected the rear deck more) I would probably buy.


... just my opinion.

I have a 2 year old that hates sun in his face, and this shade actually takes the edge off of him when he's in the back seat......so it doesn't help the deck, but it gives some love to the back seat sometimes!!
I guess the other side of the coin is that if you have window visors, the spoiler matches them pretty close, kinda tying them all together.

I think I'm getting one, I removed my origin roof spoiler because it didn't flow with the car so it's now sitting in my attic gathering dust. It was also $50 more than this thing costs.
