Default Shade mods

I just installed these shades and they are $800 less than what BMW is asking. As the US distributor I can supply you with a full set for around $300 shipped, let me know what you think. texasmr2@sbcglobal.net

They look good. How do they attach?

They attach with these simple clips (sorry for the crappy bag picture as I was sweating my butt off at 8am) and they are pressed onto the flexible flame. The small quarter window shades do not need clips because the tolerances are so tight but for the side window shades the clips keep the shades secured when the window is down.


The sun finally broke through the clouds and I had to move my car, it was at least 20 degrees cooler inside the car with the shades installed, I love them and you would too.


Thanks,
Gregg

Look like the ones from Nigel motorsports. Price is about what I remember paying for his from uk actually. I love them! A huge improvement, and looks like a nice tint from outside.

You are correct sir and they lower the interior temperature by at least 20 degrees and here in Texas that means a lot. I already have a stock dark tint yet with the shades in place it is almost like Limo tent.


Thanks for the support.
