Yep, That's the one. Now they need T-Top shades made out of the same material.

The rearview mirror and the flip down mirrors. No suction cups.

Nope. This one fits like a glove. The only thing bad about it is rolling the hot SOB up when it sits in the sun for a while. whoa!

I have the one from Afterthoughts and really like it. I don't use the visors, just tuck it in at the top of the windshield.

I also have the one from After Thoughts Auto. Fits perfect. Like Wayness01 said, You don't need to use the visors. If you do, you do not need to bend them. Just push them foward.
