Privacy Shades - Toyota Yaris Forums

Jochen · 10-17-2009, 10:19 AM

I always said I didn't want tinted windows anymore because I couldn't see anything through them in the dark. And safety goes first

So now I have an alternative: Privacy Shades!
They have the same measurements as the windows and can be removed and replaced anytime. This way I can remove them in the dark winter months.

Nice. They look like custom fit. Never seen anything like that around here. Who makes them?

Sodium Duck · 10-17-2009, 11:55 AM

Ditto, where did you find those?

Jochen · 10-17-2009, 12:11 PM

If you google for "privacy shades", you will find them. The 3-door version is already available for a while. I found the ones for the 5-door about 2 months ago.

I ordered them at a local shop, and they get them from a dutch company (autostyle.nl) which imports them from I-don't-know-where.

Here's an english site: http://www.uvcarshades.co.uk
They have them for almost every car.

Checked out that site. Those things are pretty awesome. I wonder if they have any distributors in the US yet?

ezhacker1 · 10-17-2009, 05:41 PM

cool, would make a light tint job, darker. So the benefits of limo tint but be able to see outside

weedtank · 10-19-2009, 03:39 AM

very nice! interested in buying some

fmicle · 10-19-2009, 02:14 PM

Very nice!

I still prefer the tint, since here in California, we don't quite know the concept of "dark winter months"

AmyV · 10-19-2009, 04:20 PM

Oh man I did that to my old mini-truck years ago! I absolutely loved it. Benefits of a dark tint, but still able to see through it 100%. You used to just be able to buy a roll of it and, with some time, cut it to fit yourself. Haven't been able to find that stuff for years. I will def be doing this to mine ASAP!

ezhacker1 · 10-20-2009, 03:41 AM

^ yeah i was thinking of that. thinking what would i search for.

the_boss · 10-20-2009, 09:25 AM

2009BBPliftback · 10-20-2009, 01:46 PM

Let me know how that works out. I'm interested in these too.

ezhacker1 · 10-20-2009, 06:01 PM

i found them on uk ebay. pricey for what they are. Id like to do what AmyV said and just get a roll of that stuff and cut it myself, as i have a 3 door.

Yeah, I'll look around and get back to you if I can find it in a roll.

Another plus about having that in the window is if the window breaks, no broken glass all over the place. Long story short, I had a BBQ fall thru my back window with that stuff on it, and no one was hurt and there was no mess!

TheRealEnth · 10-20-2009, 11:36 PM

is this the same thing?

It's also available for a 3-door, even long before they came with the 5-door model.
