Parking shade - Toyota Yaris Forums

I do. If you decide to buy one, don't buy one of those cheap universal types. If your car is fairly new, the dealer will have custom fit aftermarket shades in the parts department. Or, you can order custom fit ones on ebay. I just bought one for my 1988 Toyota Pickup. AFter years of using the cheap ones, I decided to "splurge" on my IS300 and to me the difference in price ($30 vs. $5 or so) was worth it and got me hooked on the custom fit shades.

I will admit, the cheap universal ones fold up more compactly (custom fit ones usually roll up into a 4" diameter tube) but the custom fit ones are made better.
