I'm digressing a bit, but you should get those 80s louvers on the rear hatch glass. That would be so bad ***!

Don't forget the cigar and cheezy mustache. Then you need a girl in the right seat that is running from a wedding.....

I've used the Heatshield brand for many years on all my cars. Living in Fl. I'm much like you with the heat. These sunshields keep it really cool inside all summer.

Here in Texas tint is a must. Try to get your windows tinted asap and use a sunshade. Using a sunshade is better than nothing at all.

I thought the previous owner used a chemical of some sort for I have this problem as well on my nismo. I picked up blinds for my house at home depot,the package was very light and I rested part of it on my dash ,and it made an ugly mark on it. My whole hand sticks to the dam thing!

I am thinking of buying a new dash ,I can get one just under a grand, but the dealer wants $1200. to install it. They say it is 8hrs labor and I believe them. I looked at the service manual and boy there is a lot of work involved!
I always keep a shade up and have very dark windows, but will make sure I keep that shade up everyday if I go through that expense!

And here I am defrosting my windows....

Oh Canada...


.... Get tints if you don't already, and if your car is out in that kind of heat, definitely get a sun reflector on the windshield.

What % of tint you all recommend, cause I always get 5% or 3%. But with all the blind spots on the Z what would you recommend for rear window tint from your experiences

I'm registered in Cali for right now but also, if I switch to Texas plates what tint you all recommend for the driver/passenger door windows as well
