Window covering suggestions

For various reasons, I'm not going to get the windows tinted in my 2011 Fit. Does anyone have suggestions for full coverage options? This would be mainly for stealth camping, but also for general shade in the back.

For an opaque covering, I'd consider making something out of Reflectix insulation. This is basically bubble wrap with foil facing on both sides, and is available at most home centers. Add some tape or something to bind the edges, and some velcro or suction cups to hold it over the windows.

Obviously something opaque should be removed from the windows when driving.

I'll look into Reflectix. Is that very pliable and/or thin?
There are those baby screens for partial shade, and I might use a couple of those, but they don't offer much, if any, privacy.

Reflectix is 5/16 inch thick and sold in rolls—quite flexible, but not stretchable.
