I know we've all thought of new designs for cards before. Some people made T shirts. Others have made stickers. But I have an original idea on how we could market this site. How about a front windscreen shade thingy with this design (design pinched from tinygiant)

So the above design on a shade thingy style below.

Would you buy one of these if someone was to make them? I know I would. Anyone got any idea on who could manufacture these and how much they would cost to make? I guess we would go two tone, either black on a white background or white on a black background to keep printing cheap.

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions, comments anyone?

That IS a pretty neat idea.

Maybe we could have sponsors on there too like Micro Image and or NST. With there permission of course. Totally up to them if they want to be a part of it or not.

Good idea! I'd actually prefer a windshield decal of that though, would be awesome.

I don't use those shade things. =)

I'd go with the black on white background to help reflect as much sun as you can. If we can get a cut that actually fits the Yaris, I'd get one. Tired of getting rectangles that have to cover a trapezoid piece of glass.

I agree with Garm, good idea :thumbsup:

my input is this.....

I know those collapsable shades are 'universal fitment'

what about that one that you stretch across the windshield and it has a spring to retract it, like a horizontal curtain?

EXCEPT HAVE IT MADE TO FIT THE YARIS WINDSHIELD?

:thumbsup:Good idea, and really neat design!! :thumbsup:

I don't use these things much but, I don't know if the price is right...

I like it, but maybe a speedometer instead of a tach?

And of course it needs to fit the Yaris windshield!

And props to Garm for his support!

Cheers! M2

Would use one. I have my Junction Produce one, but that only came out for shows with my last car.

Thanks.

All we need now is someone to:

Make a design we all agree on
Get an estimate on how much they will be to produce
Make them
Sell them
Distribute them

Any takers?

Strange,

Most of you complain the Yaris does'nt have a tach. Now it does and all you want is a speedo. :confused: :iono: :tongue:

I would buy one. May i suggest the pop open kind. I had one of those foil ones before and they are kinda bulky.

I think the design would have to be pop open for sure, maybe some suction caps to make sure it stays on the screen too. And a perfect fit just for the Yaris, just like the one Thomas sells (pictured below).

yep but those OEM toyota ones are actually two separate pieces that overlap, quite a pain in the butt... As to folding them up to stow away, another big pain in the butt...

Since I just got my car I've been looking around for one of these since the heat is starting soon.

But it depends on the price and well, how bold it is.

I know its about advertising for the forum (which I'm still a noob here, but I still love it :)) But if its going to be exceptionally bright or huge huge lettering, I might pass because it would just be too tacky for me.

I would suggest white with gray lettering so its not super super bold. Or make two different kinds.. one that someone who wants to be a billboard would like and someone who wants to to be less conspicuous with faint or smaller lettering. Unless I'm just the weirdo :P

I think it's a cool idea but as others have said, I don't use those pop out shade thingies. I did when I was in AZ, but it just doesn't get hot enough here in Oregon.

Bump. Can anyone make these? At least 22 people want them.

I guess I'd feel weird advertising the yaris with a tach, considering mine didn't come with one...

good idea though :)

Ide pay. In oklahoma sun shades come in handy. And by handy I mean they keep your car from becoming an oven in the summer. So yeah I need one anyways.

I'd like one. The one I use doesn't fit. It's not tall enough and is too wide. The Yaris has a tall and narrow windshield.:smile:
