Why even use a sun shade at night... in November?
I'm doing a 16, I won't get out of work until tomorrow 4:30pm. I always have a sun shade no matter the season, I try to keep the sun rays hitting my leathers to a minimum. My entire front windshield is Ceramic Tint also to help with heat and UV protection.

And did you actually see Terrifier 2, is it better then the Original?

Have you thought about the Weather Tech windshield sun shade? I got one and it's almost a perfect fit, flush against the windshield and into the corners. Only annoyance is that it's thick and bulky as hell so it doesn't fold up, you have to roll it up and then you have a stiff like 3 foot roll of material you have to store somewhere.
No I don't have one.
The one I currently have has been the same one from my MK5 I had back in 2008 and Sold in 2020. 🥲 Miss my MK5. I could probably get a better one but this does the Job. It blocks 90% of the light, good enough I guess.

The one in the picture and the roll up one look/sound less than ideal... get a covercraft and be happy.

I can add a positive review to the DAP mk7.5 taillights. I have had mine for a couple of years and they work well. I did need to reinstall the stock taillights because a mouse chewed through the brake light switch wires and I paid $200 for the first dealer I took my car to tell me that they did not want to work on it. Also, these lights really show swirlies especially because of the dark background.

T2 is the shit. Still creepy and hilarious plus they really cranked up the blood and gore from the first one. My new favorite slasher.

Barbarian is also worth a watch

I downloaded Barbarian last week. And still haven't watched it. I hear good things about it.
I Terrifier 2 is only on YouTube TV and Amazon. Maybe I'll check it out tonight.

Bought a used set of 245 width Pilot PA4 trying to save a few bucks (I don't normally buy wide winter tires). Put em on, rub like a mf in the front arches. Can't use a smaller spacer, so off they come and time to buy some 225 width.

Expected their section width to be identical to my 245 width PS4S but nope! Lesson learned.

245/40 or 245/35? Assume 40. I'm running 235/40 with no issue on PS4S

245/35 should fit no problem

It would fit not problem if I weren't forced to have such a huge offset unfortunately. It's the 35 profile in this case.

Pilot Alpin PA4 runs wider than PS4S by a fair amount too. My 245/35 PS4S fit fine on the same setup.

I watched Barbarian last night; two extremely creepy thumbs up.

Best one there is.

I put mine up pretty much all the time, helps keep things harder to see inside as well. At least that’s my hope.
I just got a used CoverCraft shade to replace the OEM one; immensely superior.
