"BEST" SUNSHADE on the market?!? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

tacobellman_2007 · 05-31-2014, 10:58 PM

I am tired of opening my car door every time I use my car only to see a bunch of shitty sunshade flake pieces all over my dash, seats, floor, etc. The sunshade I have is an Autozone/O'Reilly Auto universal crap sunshade and this happy-sun SoCal weather doesn't help.

Do any of you know of any sunshades that aren't shitty and don't shed like this? Or do all sunshades do this over a few months time? Willing to pay good $$ for one!

And please don't tell me to park my car in a garage, tint my windows, or buy a car cover.

Thanks!

I dont know if they still offer them but courtesy parts sold some that were made for s-chassis cars. Mine seems to have held up well.

edit - just checked and they still do.

Yeah I've seen them, price is great and the fitment is perfect since it's practically made for the 240, but I have no idea if they flake as well. If by "held up well" you mean it hasn't flaked, I might just order that one.

Anyone else care to vouch for that sunshade from Courtesy? Or any other non-flaking ones for that matter...?

I also have the one from courtesy nissan. Can't remember the actual company that makes it though. Its fairly cheap in price. I've had it for over a year and a half. Works awesome

. Direct fit too

Yeeee I'm actually glad to hear it's been working well for you guys, with the direct fit and all!

I may just get it...

I use the Ultimate Reflector. A little pricy but I like how it's a solid folding and custom fit.

Kallixtos · 05-31-2014, 11:58 PM

Do it! I use mine all the time. No flaking whatsoever. I always get asked why my dash is so nice...."sunshade".

tacobellman_2007 · 06-01-2014, 12:15 AM

Awesome, I just looked up the Intro-Tech Ultimate Reflector and saw a short video of it. Not too too pricey. From what I could see, I like it too. I'm most likely gonna go with the one from Courtesy though. If that one fails, I'll probably try the Ultimate Reflector sun shade. Thanks guys!

i have a $10 one from walmart and it works perfect... for years now. i've even used it as a pad for me to lay on the ground while i have to get under my car. none of that flaking you're talking about.

Get one without the fancy shiny aluminum.

Banana_Cute · 06-01-2014, 01:58 AM

Bro... what?

rastaman · 06-01-2014, 07:22 PM

Nice im in I want

az_240 · 06-01-2014, 07:24 PM

I have the one from courtesy nissan and one from walmart that is similar. The courtesy nissan one fits better and have had no flaking after owning it for over a year. Just kind of a pita to put away.

TwelveAM · 06-02-2014, 12:33 AM

Good looks on the link. I definitely need one with my car out in the open waiting on its motor.

I own a promotional advertising company and we actually specialize in auto sun shades with custom logos. We only wholesale but if there's enough interest I could probably make something happen. Here's my website so you can see the different styles we carry:

www.handyproducts.com

Again we only wholesale so you won't get full access to our site even if you register, but all of the styles and product info are there. Our most popular styles are 25688 and 20988, and I personally use the 20988 in my s14 (although I've never tried to fit the 25688).
