noob request
Could someone please post pictures of a properly installed luggage shade. I think I have in there correctly, but I want to make sure (there werent any directions in the package). Additionally, any info on where I can get a decent body paint matched rear license plate for less than $100 would be helpful...
Thanks.
Tom

Sunshade installation. I also clip the front flap back, to keep it from flapping in the breeze when the windows are open. The trunk divider, in my car, comes from Southern Car Parts.

Concerning the plate frame, I'm pretty sure that is the one I have. If it is, be advised you will not be able to get in the back with the key unless you take the frame off. Don't know how important that would be to you. I carry the allen wrench in my billfold.

All C6s have both. I believe his point was that in the event of a battery failure or fob locked in the trunk (circumstances when you'd have to use the key), the frame would have to be removed in order to get the key into the slot. FWIW, I just tried it and had no problem.

Yes, my car has both. mpuzach is correct. If you have to use the key to get in the back, then some frames have to be removed. I have one like you are looking at that uses the metal backing plate. The frames that use the original screw holes for the plate do not need to be removed. That's why I carry the allen wrench in my billfold. I have had to remove the frame once. No big deal to me, just pointing it out so you would be aware.
edit: since mpuzach said his works fine, then my information may not apply. Let us know if you get it.
