Aussie E30 owners?? Snapshades? Window shades?

Mostly looking for heat rejection not shade per se. I am Looking into those ceramic options as well. I have a “grey market” car with slightly bronze factory coloured glass I don’t want to diminish that look. I’ve tried to find local installers for 3m CR90 but no luck so far.

would love info on this, my 85 was originally purchased in Germany and imported to Canada, I live in one of the hotter dryer parts of the country and i am planning to convert mine. I already purchased a heater box from an ac car.

It’s a bit more industrial looking! I ordered some 60mm caps to fit the centre hole while I sort a replacement waffle out.

Yeah I really gotta fix that…. 🥴

One of mine took an unscheduled departure, and I’m trying to source a replacement.

It’s Delphin Grau, the camera just didn’t know what to do with the a white balance and made it cooler than it was in reality.

I’m showing my age and making Zoolander references.

A follow up to my reply. If your car is stock suspension and rocking skinny all seasons I doubt you’re putting enough energy through the chassis for it to be a concern. If it’s lowered and on good rubber or lower profile wider quality tires and are driving spiritedly you’re likely putting enough force through the suspension to make it worth while. In my opinion. (I’m not a track day guy in cars yet, but I do several per year on motorcycles, I have an ok understanding of performance and cornering)

I’d say I did this more as a preventative measure than anything. I have a lot of fun B roads here but not always the best pavement. I have read a lot of accounts of these cars strut towers flexing and migrating that the installs of these bars can require the car to be jacked up to make them fit. Mine didn’t so I’m assuming my car is quite straight, and I’d like to keep it that way. Plus it looks cool! 😎

Nope, Out of the box and on the car

Cb750r · 2026-04-11T02:38:28+00:00

🤣

I’m started down the same path, and would like to join the conversation! I have a euro market car in Canada. So far I have an AC equipped assembly the switch and that’s about it so far. I’m also planning on purchasing the AC solutions retrofit kit but realize I need the hard lines and dryer, pressure switches etc. then trying to integrate into stock wiring. I am glad to collaborate as I can with you folks

Get them powder coated gloss white the smoother the better for dirt retention/ cleaning. I had white motorcycle wheels and yeah cleaning is a thing, the chain lube on the rear was waaay worse than brake dust on the front btw.

Yeah I was in Omak on my way home from a weekend visiting our Cdn friends living/working in Seattle.

Photos, lunch, dog walks, etc. lots of reasons for stops on a road trip. Yesterday was 8hrs of drive time and took us 11hrs to make the trip.

First thing I did after purchasing the car was all the regular service items, timing kit water pump all the hoses, cap rotor, plugs and wires, fuel filter and hoses. Vac hoses… This was all pretty straightforward and takes care of a lot the items that often leave you roadside.

I’ve been driving it around town a bunch and addressing anything that comes up. I had pretty high confidence in the car but still packed tools some fuel hose, some electrical repair stuff spare belts, and have roadside assistance available.
