I use a car shade, the thingy you put in your windshield to block the heat of the sun, the silver ones are made of mylar cost around $8 they are available at most car parts stores, walmart and I got mine at Krogers

damn good price for 5 mil mylar with fast shipping: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370280954996

Most people go for the 1 or 2 mil mylar but this is way more durable, coated on both sides and cheap as i don't know what. From what I hear either go white paint or mylar so you don't have hot spots.

no mirror it eats more light then it reflects flat white is the best because it helps keep heat down and reflects pretty close to the same as mylar i used both and with mylar my temps went up about 5 degrees
