What do you think?

That looks awesome. I have been tinkering with some similar options and we made our own Reflectix shades as well. We tried to use Velcro to hold them in place, but on the sunny side it gets too hot and the Velcro glue side just comes off. I am thinking about using some 3M hooks and skinny girls hair scrunchies (the bands used to make ponytails) at the corners to hold them in place. The big windshield one just fits in perfectly, no need for hooks.

I did get a side shade, but it is portable and uses suction cups to hold on to the top window glass. I like your much more permanent solution.
