Pixar Cars front windshield sunshade
 

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

Only thing I found:

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.

Suggested MSRP is $8.99

Good Luck!!!

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.

Thanks! Picked up two of them :)


EXILE

$32.50 each. Some profit there!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?

No need for a fake shade with this RX8 ...

hahahaha cute!

Great pic.

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

+1 - Where?

I paid through my nose on eBay.

+3 will do a search on my end..

After Tailoring
 

Here are some pics again with the shades tailored.

I placed the shades on the windscreen,
traced out the outline of the windscreen,
undid the stitching of the edges leaving the upper edge alone as it didn't need alteration,
cut it down in size,
took it to my tailor to restitch the edging

It's a little bit wider than the windscreen but as the shades naturally fold up a little when place up to the windscreen it still covers it completely.

^ Looks great.

Definitely creative!

Here's mine! I decided not to trim it yet because when I fold the edges it keeps it in place better.

Goodonya Sharkbait. Have you parked it outside a cafe to watch other people pass it by as you have your coffee yet?

Not yet Timbervolt, I'm looking forward to it though. Have you?

You said you paid through your nose on Ebay. I think I paid through someplace else :Eyecrazy:

I haven't either. It's been quite wet but at least it's broken the drought.

The shopping village has become a bit of a poserville, so it's ideal for the sunshade head turn.

now you need to paint the red eyelids gray so it matches the rest of the car :lol2:

oh and i may get one too just to get the weird looks, even though I park in a garage everyday lmao

I want one, just not for $32+ on eBay.

My wife just got me one (not received yet) from ebay for $7.99 + 6 something for shipping. I won't see it till father's day. I'll have to see what she found it under.

Would be nice if the part above the eyes came in diffrent colors. I seen them at my local target all the time ,but i think the shade will look silly on my sunlight sliver.

Looks great on the red RX-8! And not to shabby on the galaxy grey Rx-8.

I don't think they're sold in thge stores anymore except as old stock remaining

haha maybe i should get one too...

I actually thought about doing that :) . It's pretty thin and crinkley foil-type material though, so I'm not sure that painting it would work -- I'm afraid the paint would flake off and/or stick to my 8. Hmmmm... I MIGHT be able to glue some grey fabric over the red though....

Today I showed it to my nephew who is 5 and LOVES Cars -- he went crazy! He thinks my 8 looks like "Sally" the blue Porsche.

(Oh, and my 8 is Titanium Grey)

I think I saw that one on ebay... It looked like the one in this link from TeamRX8 --- https://enterpriseportal.disney.com/...fact_sheet.pdf

There are 2 sellers currently auctioning the shades on ebay.

The first will end 28th July.

lol. sweet.

there's a few more listings on ebay. do a search for "disney cars sun shade" or "state farm sun sun shade"

I just googled it and a link to here came up... I wonder if they ever made any in black.

Here's the reason... this is my car :naughty:

For 2$ cost or less if it's made in China............. It's a pretty good profit margin.
