Default It feels weird to drive my car now.

Ever since I had my car, I've driven it with the T-Top shades out. I put them up in my closet and that's where they sat for 3 years. As you all know, the heat as of lately is a bitch (especially on dark colored vehicles.)

Luckily, I had the T-Top shades still. They're that neutral beige color from when I had the same color interior. I have charcoal now and you really can't tell a big difference when sitting inside of the car. Plus it's kind of dark with the 5% tint on all 3 windows.

The car is a LOT cooler inside now, don't burn my arm on the console anymore. Now with the T-Top shades in, it makes the car feel completely different. It's like I'm driving a different car. Kind of makes it fun to drive it again.

So it's win/win. T-Top shades. Get 'em if you don't have 'em.

i never had any. i bought my car used in late 2000 and they didnt come with them. i guess the previous owner threw them away or something. i feel ya on the burning your arm on the console, it's a bitch. everyday i walk out to my car after work, i see my black beauty baking in the sun. then i realize im about to bake inside of it for a little while. maybe ill get em before next summer rolls around

I have those T-top shades up in my closet somewhere. I've used them maybe 3 times in the past 3 years. Tint on the T-tops works pretty well too.

My T-Tops are tinted, but not that dark. They're probably 35% or something.

Kind of makes me feel like I'm driving a hard top.

I'm almost ready to invest in a remote start...something along the lines of a Viper 791xv.

Good choice, that's what I have. It was tricky finding a place that would put it on a m6 though.

I don't think I can get away from this place, it's like crack.

I never did install that TR-224 cam, ended up selling it. I'm still not cammed yet. I plan on doing cam/heads/stall at the same time, but who knows when that'll actually happen.
