windshield sunshade in your 2nd gen?

i wanted to know what windshield sunshade you guys are using in your second gens and how they fit. the one i have doesn't fit very well and lets a lot of sun in. i just changed a few interior parts(in other words raped by the mazda stealership) and dash(thanks MrFuzzy) and wanted to keep them out of the sun as much as possible.

I was cursing at my sunshade just this morning. I have never been able to find one that fits an RX7. What I have now is a cheap one I bought at a parts store for my Yukon a few years ago. It is WAY big so it actually fits top to bottom but is about 2ft. wider than I need it to be.
It has crossed my mind to buy some high quality aluminum heat shielding fabric and make one myself that fits perfectly. Could even make one for the rear window to use for extended amounts of time. I might get motivated to make them once the temperature gets over 95 deg here this summer.

for anyone interested i just picked up a sunshade from the dealer and it fits almost perfectly. side to side it's about an inch so short but top to bottom fits like a glove. it's made by intro-tech and they cost $20. they're "custom fit windshield sunshades" and they make them for the 86-92 rx7 as well as other vehicles.
