Holden Rear Sunshade

[Steve]

Brand: Holden
Price: See Paul (HSV-GTS-300)
Purchased From: HSV-GTS-300 (Paul)
Description: This basically is a rear-sunshade (though some may call it a 'roof spoiler') that fits on the G8s rear window. Though the appearance may seem like a solid black it's actually transparent and probably comparable to a 15-20% tint.

Installation: Fairly straight forward though it's recommended you have some help to line everything up. Basically all you do is clean your rear window, Attach some brackets to shade, Apply primer to window, peel the protective layer off the already attached sticky tape, place shade and call it good.
Installation Time: 5-10 minutes (+4 hours of 'drying' time before driving)
Any Installation Tips You Have: Since Paul can't ship the primer that's required you'll have to buy some locally/online. It's called '3M Primer 94' and 1 little 'ampule' is all you need (costs about a dollar). You just crush the tube between your fingers right behind the brush part to start using it.


Quality of Part: 10
Product Performance: 10
Would you Recommend to Others: Definitely

Any Other Comments: It's gonna take some getting used to visually
I'll try to get some better pictures up later

Que mucho?

Paul should be able to chime in on that what one should cost - shipping is what kills it at $125 (but it did get here FAAAST) so I added some other stuff

Yes shipping is the major cost component of this Sunshade. It's over a metre long so has to go by DHL (4 days by air to your door). Because it's triangular in section there's a lot of wasted space in the carton. You can reduce this waste if you fit 2 in the same carton.
Example we pay for a cubic of 7kg.
2x sunshades boxed only weigh 3.5kg.

1x sunshade kit delivered by DHL air TOTAL US$225

2 x sunshade kits delivered in 1 box to the same address by DHL air
TOTAL US$320


And the reason I can't send the 3M primer by air (easily) is due to its flammability.

Hint:
Buy 2, sell one.

Ya know? Oddly enough I kinda like it. Just what I need in sunny Seattle. Need more pics installed on other color cars.
