Default Sun Shade

I am looking to buy a sun shade for my 07 vert. I can probably to to Walmart but I want a custom fit and I figured some on the forum have them and can suggest a vendor and/or type of shade. I am driving the vert a lot more now and summers in Texas can be brutal with interior heat. Thanks for any suggestions.

introtech makes covers that are custom cut and fit perfect

I dont have one yet for the Vette but the one for my lexus fits perfect

They run about 25-35 dollars - When I first saw them at the lexus dealer, I was shocked at the price since Im used to going to walmart and getting one for under $10 BUT the fit is worth the price

In the lexus the fit is so good that you dont have to use the visors to hold it in

Ill have one for the vette in a few days

Use the forum vendors.....Zip/Corvette Central/Others....Get the heavy stiff one with the Corvette emblem on it. It fits very good and I dont think you would be pleased with one of the flimsey ones.......

I bought mine from West Coast Corvette. It's super high quality and folds to fit behind the passenger seat, but it's pricey:

I just got one from Corvette Central yesterday. Cost $83 after shipping. Stiff accordian cardboard with Vette emblem on outside. Fits custom exactly in the window with a little coaxing. It's a bit cumbersome to fold and unfold in the small cabin. You can get by with a soft generic one like I was for a while, but if you want a full fit that looks good this is what you need

Personally I get by with the Jumbo sized Mylar shade from Walmart and save the $30 to $70 (depending on where you get the fitted one) for other things...
