    Summary: I sleep in my car a lot. No, I'm not homeless, but it's actually extremely comfortable to sleep in between classes, before work, etc (I have a custom cut mattress in it). Problem is, it's too glassy and bright. I need a 100% full set of sun shades - front, rear, and all the side windows. Anyone know a source? The shop here used to carry them, but they don't have them anymore. I tried making velcro curtains but I just cannot seem to do a good enough job.

    Also, I want to keep my car cooler since I just replaced my HV battery. Can anyone recommend a decent white car cover so it doesn't bake in the sun all day? I know car covers aren't good for the paint, but I worry more about my battery than the paint. Thanks.

    I don't know if anyone makes a full set, but I would definitely tint the windows as dark as possible (legal/personal preference). also you might find something to make your own shades at a craft or fabric store. front shades are on ebay; I haven't looked into side or rear shades.
    as far as a cover, calcarcover does make custom fit outdoor covers for the prius, but they're $200-$320. I had one for my chevelle, it didn't last as long as i'd hoped.

    Saw a bunch of shades on eBay that might work

    Google blinds4cars they've got everything! They're custom made cheaper than tints and do the job well! Been using them since a year now.

    Guys....@Priumvirate hasn't been on the site for almost 5 years...…..but if you have something interesting to sell, the private sales forum is available. I'm sure there would be some people interested.

    I understand where you're coming from, but he specifically made a post stating that he needed a product. I wasn't even planning on selling mine, but I had something on hand that could help him out. I felt it could meet his need and I offered to sell below market value to help a fellow Priuschat member out.

    sent a PM

    No problem. I just thought that maybe you didn't notice the thread was from January 2014. Didn't want you feel obligated to be waiting around on a reply from him if opportunity was there to sell it to someone else.
