I usually ignore product "reviews" from anyone who receives items for free ...... but it is nice to see he has not been sucked in and gives his honest opinion ... (looks nice to him, doesn't do much) .. so kudos sent ..

He needs to make sure he passes his opinions along. I agree would be interested if it came down more. Nice job Sam.
-
I wonder how much that piece of plastic would run... $50?
It looks nice, even for my pocket (no infotainment, stock base)...
-
Mim, it is going to be sold by Paramount Plastics for $25. It is going through design phase and I have given them my feelings and suggestions. Right now, it looks great, but does not give any degree of actual shade on the screen. So for the guys that just want to dress up the dash this will do that for sure. I will be posting some more on this as they make some changes.
-
That's not too bad... I like it!
-
Big props out Paramont plastics for making something and pricing in a realistic price range for what it is. And it is something that looks good! Of course all just my opinion.
-
count me in i want one, i assume black painted color is optional?
-
It only comes in Black, but it can be painted. Check it out at paramountplastics.com

sam i did- noting on there website so i emailed them
-
I ordered one today. Their web is a little messed up. I found it would not load the pages correctly with my tablet or phone, I was only able to make the purchase on my computer.
When I ordered the site said they had 14 in stock. -
ordered thank you
-
Mine came today--you have choice of just hanging it there or using the tape. I didn't use the tape as it stays in there very well.
-
I see you bought it for it's good looks and not shading effect as you don't have the radio feature. That sure does look great. I did not use the tape myself. Mine has stayed in place with no problems.

Actually I DO use the space for a GPS and I've even got glass on the gray Slingshot frame for some rain protection.

I just finished installing a single din Pioneer head unit that sits in the top half of the radio opening. To finish it off I ordered a shade that is being painted to match the blue on our SS. I'll post up pictures when it is finished.
The shade should really work on a single din sitting at the top of the opening and it should also help keep water off the head unit. -
I was just about to hit add to cart when I saw the shipping was $15, 60% of the cost of the product. That is a bit excessive for a small piece of plastic. I will wait until it is picked up by other suppliers or pick one up at an event.

@Drew71646, yes! Come on... Priority box it I'm sure, what is that, like a flat rate no? Or even parcel post... Don't mind waiting if there's savings!

I always go by the motto of you get what you pay for. All the products I have recieved from various sling vendors have always been quality. I also understand that this is a specialty market and they have to make their money on less units as opposed to selling millions of units on a more popular vehicle. Some items, like the shipping on this product, is a bit excessive. -

It was shipped regular UPS..I think their issue was that they sent it in a large box (you could put about 20 of them in there) Also, no packing, large empty box with a plastic piece in a baggie bopping around. They could cut their shipping cost down if they downsized the box.
