Default (FEELER) Aftermarket Sun Shades!

Who would be up for a set of sun shades? They would be made of fiberglass and be identical in size and shape to the OEM. They would be covered in the same color headliner as you have. I need to work out the details befor going all into this. I was thinking like 25 shipped for both sides when completed.








-MODS this is just a feeler and I am in no way attempting to sell the product yet. the product isnt even made as on 2/13-

Should be a good seller because for some reason people are replacing their sun shades quite often.

Just curious, what would be the advantage of your fiberglass SS's versus the OEM ones other than cost?

Easy to lose I'm guessing. The OEM's are only expensive because they are OEM. Thus my question, other than cost is the benefit of fiberglass SS's the strength of them?

Yeah, I'm not getting the point of this thread... Why buy something that is identical to what you have in form and function???

Maybe if they had extenders or something...

i think the point is offereing a cheaper solution once your shades have broke or loose tension as mine are starting to. so when its time to replace them you can buy from him instead of the stealership

the point of this thread is because the fiberglass will be a replacement for sunshaded that have been broken, lost , or you just dont have them. My sun shades will be way cheaper then buying OEM new or used. I just wanted to give members a way to save some money.

Are you talking about like the visors that you flip up and down to block sun? Or the visors that go over the t tops because thats what im making.

Your best bet would be to just buy some from ebay if you are wanting the actual visor....
