Are you talking for the front windshield?
I have a custom one made by Covercraft, I was actually one of the first if not the first to obtain these last year when the UX first came out.
Works flawlessly, worth every penny. (paid about $75 USD for it at the time)

Also side note, for those that run a slim mount dash cam (I run the Vantage N2Pro with a rearview mirror mount), this Covercraft fits over it just nicely so it also protects it as well.

I'm going to have my side and rear windows tinted and putting clear 3M Crystalline on my windshield. It will filter 97% of IR and UV and I won't have to fool around with putting a shield on/off and storing it. The cost is around $250 for the windshield, but worth it to me for the convenience.

That's nice, I too have full tint (20%) including the front windshield (50%), the issue isn't just IR/UV, it's despite having heat rejection properties with my ceramic tint (FormulaOne Pinnacle), the sunshade protects the dash from direct heat/glare. Tint will only do so much vs completely blocking out the sun.
I'm still on the fence with tinting the windows.

The place I went to had different types of films on the wall with heat lamps behind them so you could feel the amount of heat coming through. Very little could be felt through the Crystilline product, but your are correct - nothing with block like the shade, but I know me and after a while I will probably think it's a hassle and stop using it.

Hope it all works out for you in the end!
