Default C7 and sunglasses pairing?

What kind of shades (sunglasses) are you rocking with your C7?

A pair I got for $2.00 at the grocery store. Made in China, I suspect.

Cheap knock offs from WalMart. My wife won't let me buy expensive glasses as I tend to lose them as fast as I buy them.

Bought a pair of Versace just like the ones pictured for my C6 back in 2009, they have held up well and have since been transferred to the C7. They look great and can be worn with anything.

I see what you did there.

I've always been a Ray Ban Aviator guy. I've got several pair, different lens and frame colors.

I almost prefer a thread on wheel alignment. Almost.

Since you ask,
Just a fairly plain frame but here is my take.
1. No polarization, messes up the HUD.
2. Dark
3 Being smack in the C7 demographics I wear Rx tri-focals and I prefer the "executive" type of lens layout that runs the band of strength clear across the lens.
Here is how I customized them. I took the frame with the plain lenses in them and sat in the car. After getting myself in the driving position and focused on the distance I put masking tape across the top with the bottom edge at the top of the dash. I then put another piece tape with the top at about the center of the steering wheel. I returned them to the eye doctor and they sent them to the lab with my measurements. That arrangement makes the perfect driving glasses, HUD and distance in focus through the top, the dash fully covered by the mid-range and just a little of closeup left to read the manual.

Happy Motoring.

My regular glasses, which if I take the top off get dark (transitions), otherwise the UV glass prevents them from changing color.
