Default Visor hole patch

Took my visors out last year, and hated that I had two triangle shaped holes in the top of my interior. Then when I installed the cage, the head unit got removed, and then put back on, and i noticed a sage. The pillars were the only thing holding it up in the front, so I decided to make some plates to bolt in and cover the holes. Took me about 30 minutes from start to finish, and turned out good I think. Dimensions for the pieces are in the pictures.

i used junk visors & cut the arms off, then filled the holes with epoxy, smoothed it all up and painted them with a black wrinkle paint. looks kinda like they belong there and not a lot people notice i have no sunvisors while riding in the car

Good thinking! I'm missing my passenger side one, might go ahead and remove the drivers side and patch it like you did. It looks real good man!

i wouldnt paint the screws. most good hardware stores or some type of specialty bolt place will have black oxide screws.
sometimes youll find them at autozone.
if its really bothering you now that i mentioned it.
haha.
