370Z UV sunshield product review

theDreamer · 08-18-2009, 07:47 PM

Just got mine in, quicker than I though, but I was able to test the V1 and shade. With the V1 mounted using the mounting method in the pictures above I was unable to put on/off the shade. Though with three seconds of removing the V1 the shade was up and working, looks great, will give it a solid test tomorrow.

Yes, and the one I had before this, the thin paper one was just not cutting it. Tomorrow will be a day for a good test, hoping for some sunny weather.

lol...no need to hope my friend, it will be sunny and hot!

i use mine at work, and although it is hot inside the car, it is cooler than without it and the tinted windows...

those shades look useful :P

I received mine a little over a week ago and I love it. It keeps my car sooo much cooler, esp with the tint. It makes it harder to see in as well. It's a little tricky to put up and take down with how small the car is, but I haven't managed to hit anyone while doing it yet. I usually just tuck it behind the passenger seat, although it ends up behind my set if I take a quick turn. Not a big deal though.

Hey Vipor, just noticed your sig did you get the ok from Dark_Sub_Rosa who designed it or just lifted for you self? I asked and he designed mine. that's what it's about. I just happened across your post and noticed it.

Sorry Kaiser for throwing a wrench in the thread.

No need to apologize. It's always nice to ask for permission before using ANYONE'S "personally" created sig or avatar. I am assuming he/she did that.

On topic//
Great to know everyone is happy with it. It does reduce the interior temperature significantly.

SlikNik · 09-18-2009, 10:22 AM

Major temperature difference with it up. I live in Florida with temps around 90 everyday and the black dash would be on fire before I started using this.
Now it stays as cool in my car. ( I do have window tint as well )

Gets my vote for the best windshield visor for the 370

Pictures! (on a rainy day)

...and finally... the storage location!

kdo2milger · 09-22-2009, 12:52 PM

dcrew1x · 09-25-2009, 12:44 PM

It looks so much nicer than the original one I had and better fitment!

Here's a pic of my old cover:
