Custom heat shield / sunshade - Winston968 - 02-25-2009

I need a sunshade for my 968. I saw this advertised:
http://www.automotion.com/product.asp?pf%5...;dept%5Fid=4049

Does anybody have any experience with this brand? It is advertised as being custom fitted. I was wondering if it is truly custom fitted, or just "close enough"

Does anybody have a different brand they would recommend. I prefer those that don't have a huge logo on it.

Thanks in advance.

Winston-

Try Cee Baileys (Google search). They make truly custom sunshades which fit the front and sides. Have them for all three of our cars and love them. The only downside is they put a logo sticker in each corner of each shield. The adhesive wears out over time due to the heat and the stickers start to come off and become a nuisance.

No affiliation, just a happy customer.

Excellent. Thanks for the recommendation.

No problem!

I need to find out if they make them for the cab myself since I no longer have a coupe...

Just for another frame of reference, I use them on my daily driver 2004 Jetta- which has a black interior. On hot days here in SE PA, the difference in cabin temps is staggering.

Just took a peak at the website. They list the 968 Coupe specifically. Maybe they made them just for you BT.

Thanks for that information. From the images on the website, it looks like there is no logo. Would that be correct?

Correct, no logo, just the aluminum foil looking front on it, and the back side is white.
