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?

05TiGr8Lady 05-18-2007 08:59 AM

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:

timbervolt 05-18-2007 09:38 AM

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:

ZoomZoomH 05-18-2007 10:17 AM

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

CarAndDriver 05-18-2007 11:37 AM

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

Design1stCode2nd 05-18-2007 11:50 AM

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.

DailyDriver2k5 05-18-2007 12:00 PM

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 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)

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

MadMonkey 08-02-2007 09:53 PM

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.
