Default TTop shades

just bought some ttop shades and they are for a charcoal interior which is what i have. but the headliner is a little lighter and when i put the ttop shades up they are definitely a different color than the headliner. are all ttop shades on everyone elses cars a different color than the headliner itself.

I think he means his seats are a dif. color than his headliner, and he's wondering if anyone else's car is like that also.

I never use mine either, but I think they are a dark grey/charcoal color, hell, maybe their black....I have the Ebony interior.

Here's the real question, does anyone who uses these notice a difference on interior temps, I'm burning my *** off out here in the summer!?

I have had mine in since I got the car back in 98. I hardly ever take the tops off. My car is black with the charcoal interior. It has been pretty warm out lately but the interior does not seem to get too hot. Windows are not tinted either.

I use them when its real sunny out, I have charcoal cloth interior, they seem to help a lot with the sun beating down on the inside as well as roasting my scalp.

How much did you pay for the T-top shades?
