I'm just wondering if anybody had ordered a set from these guys on ebay. Pretty cheap JP window curtains for $80 with free shipping.
Wasn't thinking of installing these but my 4 year old son keeps complaining about the sun.

they can't be... guy only has 1 transaction and is shipping from China. Ask him if they are authentic and you'll get a "high quality replica" answer

Ya I saw that person post pics of his ride on Facebook and wanted to get some of those curtains for my back seats too. I cant remember the person's username here that re-did the leader, trim, and added curtains but it sure is a sick ride.

No I highly doubt that. He has the official legit Junction Produce curtains. I looked before a long time ago and the real ones are something like $200 a pair.

Are there any vendors on this site? And which size would we need small, medium or large? For anyone who has already got them.

I haven't used the curtains, but seems they are mostly for privacy. I doubt that even the true JP curtains will do much to block the sun. I reckon tinting the windows might be more effective but even tint won't block the sun - it just reduces galare and heat. I'm sure your son will still be able to see the sun through any curtain at any price and I doubt they will reduce heat as well as tinting does.

We would need size small for the rears. Im not sure about the fronts and im not sure if there are vendors on this site that sell these.

My windows are tinted already and I'd figure this would shade the sun a bit to a point he would not complain.

Ahh I have I think found a local shop in my area that sells them but they're currently out of stock. He says they should get some in next month and that he will contact me when they come in. I guess I can test fit them before I buy?

$200 for $***ING curtains :stickhit: ! I wish I would, my mother would find me and beat me just off GP!! Hell, even $80 for curtains in a car is ridiculous...says the guy that spent $2500 on rims last year and is about to do it again this year :facepalm: . But that's still ridiculous for car curtains. As far as it being legit...Do you like it? Is the price right? Is it for practical purposes instead of trying to impress someone? If you answered yes to all, then buy those overpriced curtains.

As far as legal, isn't there a thread on this site talking about 120mph+ runs? What's legal got to do with anything...especially here :rotflmao .

Yeah I'm bored right now, had to reply.

Sorry for responding so late. I've been on holiday.

I'm not a fan of them, first of all. Fetucnini likes them so I got a pair. The tint significantly reduces heat, and the curtains slightly reduce the sunlight for the rear passengers. I purchased them on Ebay for about $30. They ship from California but the package is clearly from overseas.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/70CM-BLACK-ADJU ... 086wt_1154

The curtains I bought were 70cm wide. The 50cm size is not wide enough to cover the rear windows in my car and the 70cm is too wide. I trimmed them to custom fit my car (2007 M35). I really don't think these curtains will make a huge difference for your situation, but for $30 they may be worth a go.

Here is a little DIY if anyone is interested.

First thing is to peel off the 3M tape that comes with the rails - it's cheap and not very sticky. Go to Home Depot and buy the 20-pound test 3M tape in the paint section. Remember these have to stick to a textured surface and the tape supplied is way to flimsy to stick securely.

The curtain rails have one end that is plain and the other end has a small opening near the edge to insert the cutain nubs and a lock pin to keep them from sliding back out after inserting them.
IMPORTANT: The end with the small opening MUST be installed so when the curtains are gathered and wrapped, they do so at THAT end, not the regular end of the rail. That means on BOTH sides of the car, this small open end goes closes to the center pillar of the car. It means reversng the rails on one side with respect to the other.

SIZING:

The upper rail and the lower rail each must be cut to fit the window. It's a very simple process using a pair of very sharp heavy duty scissors or a tin snipper. You have to snip it close to the end with the opening to ensure the curtains slide freely along the rest of the rails. Multiple snips are best. Just gradually snip more and more until the rail fits snug and covers the entire length of the window frame, and the two separate pieces fit snug and align close as possible. Nobody will see this end as the curtains always hide it, so no worries that the snipping will show. The upper rails will need more snipping as the top of the window is shorter than the bottom.

After you have replaced the 3M tape and snipped the rails to fit properly, just install the curtains. Then install the loop that allows you to gather and clamp the curtains open. Replace the 3M tape supplied on this piece as well.

I have absolutely NO doubt that your Junction Produce curtains are much higher quality than the set i bought and they probably do a much better job of blocking sunlight. However, as the bottom curtain rail in your pic shows, they do not cover the entire window, leaving the most important part (the part next to your face) uncovered. That is why I decided not to use them.

The best option here might be to buy the cheapest set off of Ebay. That way you have the rails and the velcro? tie that holds the curtains closed when not in use. Then just get some more heavy duty fabric and make your own curtains or have them made for you. That way they can be the size you want and block out light better.
