Since it's getting to be that hot time of year again, I decided to buy some custom window shades for my S. I got them from http://www.autosunshields.com made by Lee & Bailey's Aircraft Plastics. They were around $50 shipped. They keep interior temps down significantly. I don't always use the side ones because they (actually only one of them) are a pain in the rear end to put on. One of them is easy, since you can put it on from inside the car, but the last one takes a bit of skill to put on before you close the door. Overall, fit and finish is excellent. They even come with a little waterproof bag to keep them in. Here are some pics (freshly washed too ). I got mine made with custom color edging (blue of course).
It looks good. However, the price is rather steep. What about this one from Handa for around $20? Anyone have experience with this on their S? I am thinking about getting this cheaper one for the summer. Thanks!
If you order just the windshield shade with standard green binding, it's $25. Not too far off the Handa one. Plus you get the bag. I paid the extra $20 for side shades and custom blue binding because I didn't want green.
Very nice. I've been needing to do the same thing since my windows aren't tinted either. I've looked at the local stores but they are a one size fits all and dont have any thing for the side windows.

Car covers are big rear-end pain if you know what I mean. I actually have one sitting in the closet from my previous car. I use the car everyday and I definitely do not have the time to mess with a car cover. If I were leaving the car for weeks at a time, yes I'd use the car cover.
