Lightbulb AfterMarket SunShades for Rear Doors and Rear Window

I am curious to find out if anyone installed sunshades on their B8? I am not referring to the factory ones. They're just way too expensive to install if you didn't get the option from the start.

I have done some research and was able to only find 2 suppliers of these shades. Unfortunately, they're both in Europe and I am in the process of finding out they will deliver to the US. Below are the links...

UV Car Shades (Set of 6) A4 4 DOOR 2008-on - AUDI A4 2008-ON - Vanstyle

Audi Audi A4 8K Sedan from Bj.2008 - windesa - Sonniboy Sunshades

If you know of a supplier here in the US, please let me know.

Personally, I like the one from Sonniboy, cuz the shade for the rear window is a single piece.

Cool

I finally made my decision and went with the Sonniboy Shades from Windesa. After a torturing 2 weeks, it finally arrived and installed...

Incase any of you wants to know what I did or what I am talking about, pics below says it all...

I have Limo tint on my rear windows, so the thought never occurred to me. However, your shades do look nice, are you happy with them?

I am very happy with the way they look and the fitment. I could actually tell and feel the difference.

I would have loved to get tint on my windows, but with my luck now, I will probably get pulled over right when I pull out of the shop and get slapped with a few tickets. And beside, I could drive with the windows partially down and my son will still be shaded, also, no bugs...

What state do you live in? Tint laws vary by state. In California, any level of tint can be applied to the rear windows, and no tint to the front.
