If your referring to the interior sunshade for the sunroof I'd check in the Parts for Sale/Wanted section. Or possibly the Vendors Forum.

I've got a set of those round(ish) ones that twist in on each other. They come two per package, and each one covers half of the windshield. They work well enough, and when folded in they fit nicely between the passanger seat and the center console.

Got em at walmart for like $12.

Yeah, I was thinking of getting some of those round ones but I like the one where the two roundish pieces are actually connected so it's easier to fold.

Same here...fit really well with the size of the windshield and seem to keep the car MUCH cooler in summer. Oh yeah...and as a plus, you don't have to use the visors to hold it up (which might keep your visor from breaking like some of the others).

I got one of those circular fold up sets also. I have to admit that folding them up kicked my *** for a week and then I GOT IT , and now they are great.

The generic shade is a little wider than tall, but they fit in the RX8 windscreen best standing on end. They completely fill the windscreen.

I also have the circular fold ones. I got mine at PepBoys for about 15$. They have worked fine for me. I can fold them up at put them in the map pocket on the back of the pasenger seat.

What year is your 8? I don't have a map pocket on the back of my passenger seat, just my driver's seat. And I wish it were the other way around.

I've used these for years. They're custom made for each car and fit like a glove.
I'll never go back to the Walmart type Sunscreens...!

It fits perfectly.
It's "Custom" Made to fit our windshield.
When I'm not using it, I fold it up and put it behind the passengers seat.
Pictures Below...

JC Whitney $29.99 (2 years ago)
Even at $55 it's less expensive then buying a new one every year from Walmart...

I just use one of the El Cheapo ones, although I like the look of those circular ones too.

Yeah, that confused me for a good 20 minutes earlier. Here's what to do:

- Go to www.covercraft.com
- On the right, click on Buy online
- Scroll down to Front window heat shields
- Pick a vendor and off you go... I just randomly picked the last one and it was around $42

That looks like a pretty good product. But damn there's some FUBAR'd Web sites on that list! Bookmarked a couple good ones though.

The factory one plus cracking the windows including the back can lower the temp about 20+ degress. I don't think anyone else has one with the name of their car on it either.
