Pixar Cars front windshield sunshade
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi

Does anyone know where I can buy a sunshade with eyes as the design as in the animation movie Cars by Pixar/Disney?

I've been looking on the the internet and ebay but couldn't bring up a source that currently sells it. I found that Target and Advanced Auto Parts were selling it, but searching their site and emailing them resulted in the negative.

Pictures of the sunshades are attached.

Any info would be sooo appreciated.
Cheers

Just paint it on your windshield, then you'll never have to take it down.

Just play the soundtrack.

There's a state farm logo on the top right corner. Maybe it's a feebe for their customers. :)

check ebay now: see link, but it's in the UK, so your shipping is a little rich.

You can buy those shades at Target or Advance Auto parts here in the states.
Maybe one of the folks here could hook you up.
If you can't find one that way...write this guy.

Thanks everyone

Hmm, painting the eyes on, not a bad idea. There's those special films that are used on buses (and trams) for advertising that are perforated and black on the inside so you can see out. Could do that, until the cops pull me over.

Torpedo and boiler, I saw those in my search but they are just not the same as eyes only. Thanks for looking though.

speedweasel, that is a very helpful contact. I will use it if my cousin in DC can find it at Target.

I'll repost when I am successful.

meanwhile, if anyone else has seen the sunshades somewhere, please post your findings.

That looks cool I'll have to be on the lookout for one.

For anyone who is interested, someone is selling it on eBay - overpriced mind you.

$32.50 each. Some profit there!

Raptor2k 04-19-2007 12:42 AM

It's at Target? I'll check it out...

cjkim 04-19-2007 12:44 AM

just FYI...
i got one for free, and they're a b*tch to put on the 8 IMO.
but then again, i haven't tried any other sunshades, so they all might be a pain.

The circular ones seem to be the best.

If you find it at Target, do let us know. I would like to get another.

I had emailed and telephoned Target but they said they didn't have any. Neither did Autoparts. I asked my cousin to look into Target but again, without success.

I've emailed the guy at Disney but no reply.

Design1stCode2nd 04-19-2007 11:16 AM

Same here if you can find one not on ebay I'd like to get it as well before summer.

timbervolt 04-28-2007 12:03 AM

Ka-chow
 
Here it is, finally.

Yes it is a little big. I'm going to cut it down and restitch the edges so it'll fit better.

Glad I got it though.

CarAndDriver 04-28-2007 12:36 AM

It works well with the 8 since the radiator grill looks like a smiling mouth. Thanks for the pic.

eug 04-30-2007 10:40 AM

Hee. ya post another pic when you've resized it. The creases make your 8 look inebriated

So where did you finally end up getting it from?

CarAndDriver 05-01-2007 12:08 AM

Great pic.

Anyone know where to get the shade without having to pay through the nose on eBay?
