The strip is mostly stop and go and watching out for drunk pedestrians in rave outfits and pasties like last time.

This is the same folding shade as OEM, but without the logo. Also cheaper.

+1 for the covercraft. Had mine for 2 years now, and it's still in good shape and rejects an amazing amount of heat. Quality and fit are 9.5/10.

Ugh. I hate driving on the Strip. Whenever we go, we just taxi everywhere and leave my car in the parking garage of the casino we are staying at...

We usually fly and then just take shuttles and cabs but the last time around I wanted to travel around to places where no shuttles went. We also were staying at Sam's Town so a car was much more practical. I really had no issues getting around and was quite surprised.

The OEM one is fantastic. Worth the money.

Hovercraft for me. Have a Dashcam so the cut out is perfect for it.

Hovercraft? wouldn't it get tedious to have to inflate it everytime you need to use it. It probably is very useful if a flash flood occurs though

I would recommend NOT using the folding mylar/shiny silver ones found at Autozone. I purchased one last year to cool off the interior as it heated up here last spring. In about that time the sewn edges of 'felt' like material started to fall apart due to UV exposure and left mucho 'dandruff' on the dash and anywhere I moved the sunshade to.

Purchasing a new OEM sunshade and trunklid liner for the RS 2.0 today from Subaru Online Parts.

My Heatshield (via Amazon) USA made roll-up has been great for the last couple years.
