I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations with Window Sun shields? Any one have some experience with ones you've bought and brought you satisfaction? Also has anyone bought passenger and driver side sun shields??

You can never go wrong with Heatshield. Their products are made to fit specifically for certain cars. I own one and it covers the ENTIRE windshield, very good quality stuff. http://www.canvasworks.com/

Edit: I did not notice you were talking about the ones for side windows, whoops.

There was this one that I saw on one of those airplane magazine things when I went to Texas last year. It was a retractable one that connected to the pillar on one side of the windshield and you extended it out to the other (pass. > driver I think) and there was clips on the extended side to hold it in place.

Looked pretty neat plus you don't have to bother folding it up or storing it anywhere.

But on the downside I can't find out where it is or where to get one for the life of me

I got the sunshade from ProTrim and it's legit. I've used it a few times, and it's significantly cooler, mind you I also have my car tinted 35/20.

I would recommend this headshield as it's really a snug fit. You don't even need the visors to support this thing.
