Aviation Sun Visors (Think Boeing 747) Like many of you, my sun visors are starting to show age. I found a company that makes visors for the aviation industry. Their name is Rosen, and they make visors for light planes (Cessna, Piper, etc), as well as commercial aircraft (Boeing, Airbus, etc.). These visors are made from a polarized material, and are mounted to a set of billet aluminum arms. These can be adjusted at various angles, and look really trick.
A few years ago they made a set for the f-body (see link below).

I called them up last Friday, and unfortunately they dont offer the f-body visors anymore
. They do however make visors for a number of other vehicles, and you can see the list of models they cover in the next link.

My question is this: Given the triangular mount of a '93-'02 f-body visor, would any of their current offerings work in our cars?

it looks like the saturn sci ones they have may work, because you could adjust the angles pretty much in 3 directions, and they're the triagle mount...? but i was just staying within the GM vehicles, thats probly yr best bet...

I didn't see Saturn on the current list (you might have been looking at the first link, which is discontinued). The only GM products they presently have are Trucks & SUV's. I know the f-body mount has its fasteners equally spaced 1 1/2 " in a triangular pattern. Some of the photos from the updated web-site appear to show triangular mounts.
$250 seems a bit expensive anyway. Maybe hacking up your old visors you could make something QUITE similar yourself and a far better price. On another note, if I just wanted tinted glass, I'd tint the top of the windshield and/or put some sunglasses on....Oh, I did and I do. 
I think solid is the way to go.
I think solid is the way to go. Classic Industries sells OEM replacements for 143-155 depending on year and texture, as weel as if its a lighted mirror option. Go to their site and download their Camaro & Firebird catalog FREE and look at all the stuff they offer. ALL KINDS OF STUFF. They will even ship the same printed catalog to you. I have two of them. Its about a 450 page catalog...All Camaro and Firebird.

i think these are really cool; never seen a shade like that, or visors with such nice aluminum mounts..
i wonder how those shades compare in direct sunlight; i have a tint strip on my windshield so usually when Im using my visors its because of low-angle-sunlight...
lovin the sig
