I didn't buy mine from WCC since I didn't want another logo on my car, but I did buy the accordian style. Folded up in the bag it fits neatly behind my driver's seat. If you don't have anything behind the passenger seat, that would also be a good spot. Therefore, you could still be seated to access the shade and then install it.

I used an accordion style for a year, did not like it at all. Now use an oval spring style. http://i5.walmartimages.com/dfw/dce0...80227ab.v1.jpg

I have a two-piece set that I bought from either Target or Wally World. Cost about $20. They squarish light fabric with rounded corners and have a springy wire around the edges. Silver on one side to reflect heat in the summer, black on the other to absorb heat in the winter. And they fold into about a 10" circle that I store in the crack between the passenger seat and console. They work great. I find them easier to maneuver than the one piece cardboard ones.

I googled shades for the vette when I bought one. It came from eBay. Guaranteed to fit perfectly. And it does. It's a multilayer unit. BUT it rolls up and its a hassle to use. I end up rarely using it. I have been considering the flat springy kind as posted above.
