its funny i saw this. its coming up to a year since i got the car. Last summer i would leave them in except when taking the tops out. then when fall came i kept the shades out completely. about a week ago i put the shades back in and it feels like a different car, i kind of like it.

I leave mine on most of the time. If I have a road trip during the night, I take off the shades.

That's crazy yours did not come with holders. Were the shades an option, because mine didnt come with shades.

+1 for leaving them out. I park in a garage most of the time and my leather seats aren't flawless anyway. So I just enjoy the open feeling. Plus the girlfriend likes it.

That is a good question, I was thinking of tinting my a bit darker as well..

I have never put my shades in, they are still in their original plastic bag in their holder.

You guys that use them, did you use the little velcro dots? or just use them loose?

I had my tops tinted int 5% limo film the second day I owned my TA. My car was absent the shades when I bought it. I picked up a set of sun shades and I leave mine in most of the time but when I take them out...I'm sure glad that I tinted mine. Of course the 5% tint all the way around the car doesn't hurt either Oh...and I never even used the Velcro dots

I'll take mine out in winter if it gets cold and is going to stay cold for awhile, because the sunlight really helps warm the interior. Same principle works in reverse, though. Sunny days above 50* they're in, otherwise I'm broiling. I can't imagine driving around in summer without them ... our cars have good A/C, but it can't keep up.

I never use my t-top shades, and most of the time I dont even put my t-tops on. Like right now my cars parked outside with the tops off.

I took mine out last year onlt to realise how much sun comes through without them. I put them back in this year. It sucks driving around having to squint even though the t tops were not out! Screw that never again!
