Haha that may be my fault. I posted my pics and details of how happy I was with it on FB and here, and I know a bunch of people started ordering. Oooooopsie.

The HeatShield roll up sun shade does really well at shading the cabin from sunlight, and the fit is nice, but it is annoying AS SHIT to roll that thing up every time. Plus it doesn't stow nicely like the OEM or Covercraft one. I'm thinking of switching sunshades because my current one annoys me that much...

I'm also usine the OEM Subaru, fits great. A local dealer sold it to me for $50 because I've bought previous cars there in years past. I've found it online for $50 as well, can't remember shipping cost...

So which fits better? The TRD or the Covercraft?
Is $50 more worth it? Is the TRD one piece? The TRD looks cleaner without fold lines. Also, it appears to fill in around the mirror.

Yeah the trd one is perfect fit, and it folds. I put it in between the seat and tranny channel. However...the wait sucked but I guess it was worth it.

The TRD definitely wasn't worth the extra $50 to me. The Covercraft is thick, folds right behind the passenger seat, and I like how it has the cutout around the mirror because it keeps space there for an alarm system or dash cam.

Got lucky. Bought a TRD Racing sun shade for $11 at my Toyota Dealer. Usually make a weekly stop to see what items they have in parts dept.

Lucky you. Haha damn that's a steal. Did it come with the bag too?

Yes. Still had two left on display.

The OEM one. I'm not a huge fan of accordion style sun shades, but at least it fits perfect. Plus it was free… (our dealer gave us a great deal already, so our "bargaining" was "throw in a sun shade"… which he did!)
