Default Sunshade for the S2000

I live in Texas and when I am forced to park the car in the sun, it gets HOT! I did some quick research on s2ki, and was only able to find 2 sources of sunshades (the type that you put across the windshield) that will fit the S2k: genuine Honda accessories ($30 + shipping) and H and A accessories (http://www.handa-accessories.com/s2000-04int.html) ($20 + shipping). Has anyone been able to find a shade at a local car shop (Pep Boys, NTB, etc...) that would fit the s2k? I would prefer not to pay ~$30 for a shade!

I got a California Pop-Top on Amazon. It is a sheet of white Tyvex that's fitted to cover the S with top either up or down. It's kinda spendy at about $45.00, But it keeps my car cool and lets me keep the boot on so I don't have to put the soft top up.

I got mine at autozone for $10 and just cut out the length so it'll fit our windshield.

These are a little more expensive, but are custom for the s2k and fit the front + sides for maximum coverage.

^^^I want that, but for 50 bucks Rather just tint the side window 20% and buy a cheap sunshade from autozone. If it was 40 bucks cheaper I'll buy it

I've been using a shade that I got from Dollar Tree. $1 buck and it doe's the same job as any other sunshade. No custom fit but who cares.
