I was going to do something like that but i got lucky and found a nice used set of visers for $30 out of a hardtop. no fading on the top, and decent fabric/corners, the only thing i had to do was stuff the straps under the mirrors which my old ones were the same way. oh and i did have to swap the passenger side mount off my old visors because the pass side on the new set caused that visor to sag slightly. but its simple to swap that piece.

I had a perfect set of visors for my car, but sold them on e-bay for 115 bucks.

Yea, I was going to say that I have no clue man, that's why I sold them as a whole, and replaced it with those metal pieces(heat shield). If the mounts would have come off the arm I would have re-used the mounts.

yeah good visors are worth their weight in gold on ebay...i lost bids on several b/c i refused to pay more than $70 for a used set because i found a place that had them new for $190/pr and if i was going to spend over $100 i might as well just get new ones. the 93-96 graphite are harder to find in good shape than the late models too. i got lucky and found that set here on ls1tech from a guy parting a hardtop 95 camaro.

other than that, they are in perfect condition and have really never been put to use

don't see why not. most people who buy them are probably replacing worn visors. had i known i could have just slid the visor off the arm i wouldn't have even taken the arm off the car.
