T-Top shades OEM or aftermarket I just puchased my first T-top TA (missing T-Top shades). I will definitely need the shades living in Florida. Should I be looking for OEM shades or aftermarket plactic shades (ebony interior)? The car is in near mint condition except the ebony dash pad is cracked. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

I tinted mine 5% and have never looked back. My cousin has T-Tops in his Trans Am and didn't believe me that the tint would make any difference in the Texas sun, well after comparing the two on a hot spring day I think he was thoroughly convinced. I like the tint because I can still see out through the top and enjoy the glass roof, but it still keeps the interior cool!

Were these mysterious TTop Shades an option NEW, or did most first time buyers, too cool for school, just toss them out?
I'm kinda digging the tint idea, one less thing to mess with...

I need to pick some up as well.
I'm curious how so many of the original ones seem to just get lost. How are they not kept with the t top if they aren't on at that moment? Most camaros my dad/I've had were hardtops, and my friend picked up a t top z a while back and I was amazed it still had the shades. Every camaro I've checked out has never had them on the car still.

I have a set that came with my Trans Am when I bought it brand new back in the day. I usually only use them in the summer time because it gets way to hot inside. I keep the shades in my closet during the winter.

I might get aftermarket shades since ebony OEM shades in decent shape are very hard to find. I will need them almost year-round with the Florida sun and heat.
