Question Windshield visor/shade?

Anyone know of a place that makes them big enough to fit our cars (Firebirds & Camaros)? It's starting to get hot outside and the sun beats down on my dash up at work. Thanks

Well, it's been so long since I bought mine I can't remember what they are called. I've had them for 8-9 years now. I think I got them at WalMart, but I'm sure other places have them too.

There are 2 pieces per set for a windshield. They are a soft fabric with a dull silver color, more shinny on one side than the other (shinny side goes toward the sun) with a thin wire frame. The wire frame allows them to be coiled/folded up into a circle ~16"-18" in diameter. 2 or 3 different sizes are available. A little more rectangle than square so they can be fitted to various sized windshields. If anyone wants I can try and get a pic and post it.

SunCoast, I have them for a different car. I think they are called autoshades, and are still available at walmart. You wouldn't happen to know the size of them? Large, Jumbo, anything like that? Would you be able to measure them?
