    Perfect fit sunshade?

    Hey guys,
    I went to the DMC mid west summer gathering a couple years ago and someone there had a sunshade in the windshield that was a perfect fit going into all of the corners perfectly. He told me what the brand was but I can’t remember what that was or what his name was. Anybody know what this is? Thanks

    Covercraft UV10118SV Silver UVS 100 Custom Fit Sunscreen for Select DeLorean DMC 12 Models - Laminate Material, 1 Pack

    Copied from amazon. About $60. I have one and yes it fits perfectly! The color is very close to stainless steel so looks great.

    The covercraft is a perfect shade for the car unless you've redyed the interior. For some reason the edge fiber material messes with the SEM at high temperatures (I live in Florida) leaving a small mark behind. Nothing crazy, but definitely visible. This is a non-issue for non-dyed dashes.

    Yikes! That's a pricey W/S cover. Does it make that much of a difference when compared to the less than perfectly fitted ones?

    I got mine a couple years ago for $51 from a website called UltraRev which apparently no longer exists. Aside from a good fit, it's also very sturdy (unlike flimsy cardboard) and has a reflective surface. The cheaper ones you find at Pep Boys aren't in the same league.
