The price is right The one's I've looked at though at WalMart are all way too large for the C3.

I would pay up for a nice one with C3 graphics made for the C3 windshield, but I can't find one...

Dont know about beating $10 but you could purchase some insulating product like this and cut to fit.

That's a good idea...I'm surprised I can't find any shades with C3 logos on them...they are all over the place for C6 and C7...
