Thanks, I think the windows are the same
The concept is easy, I think somebody could come up with a perfect fitting, and therefore better looking unit if they had enough time and patience.

Plus there are no doubt better materials to use, at more expense.

To protect the rear deck and seats from the deadly solar rays, of course

If you like the looks, then it's for the looks! Do it in body color or even 555 nanometer green!

If you hate the looks, do it in flat invisible black, because you know functionality rules!

But the main reason is I've still got creative demons lurking inside that must be excor-sized

and the very, very slim chance I come up with something that costs $5.00 to make and can sell for $20.00

For God sakes, man it's the American dream, don't you understand?

Got a mounting bracket in place. Made out of 1/8" x 1/2" x 3' aluminum stock. It survived the first test drive.



Since the material is so fragile, I don't expect it to last too long. When it starts to discolor, I'll see if it can take a coat of paint. This grade of foamboard is only paper covered, after all. It's $11.00 / sheet retail. The better quality stuff, "Gatorboard," is plastic covered, and about $60.00 / sheet. (That's when mistakes get costly).

I might go back in and try to correct the cutting mistakes, which are too obvious in that white color. Only other thing is you lose 2" of headroom to the rear glass. At 5' 8", there's room to spare for me, but if you're tall, you'd have to slouch over

I like the idea BUT i think it would look a lot more bad ass if it didn't have the "steps" on each side....idk how to explain it but if it was just a flat piece from the top to bottom on each side i think it would make it look more slick. Get what i'm saying?

Yeah, I think I do, actually, it would black out the sides for a cleaner look. Then maybe light tint on the side windows.

I like, but I take it that there isn't any material out there to be able to place them outside like this?



I honestly feel they would look good on our cars if they had your "steps" but outside like this. Would give it a more sporty look in my opinion.

For an alternate approach, I wonder if some power rear sunshade could be adapted? These are options on a number of higher end cars nowadays. (My wifes car has one. It is pretty nifty.)

It would be sweet if when parked you could make the louvers fold shut like blinds, so it blocks the sun.

I'm going for something different, more recessed but low cost and maintenance. Still, I need to get a rear window glass piece to do better mock-ups, a perfect fit will look much better. It did on the Saturn I had decades ago. But another problem with the white color was the reddish defroster lines messed with the looks, you can't see them as much with the black. Might go black metalflake
