Better replacement visors (4th gen) - source?
 
Some time back I had seen replacement visors on eBay that
claimed to have a plastic (not cardboard) core and were a
direct fit replacement. Did not pull the trigger then, because
I had the idea to make my own. Now I go to look for them
again (my handiwork not being all that good a match) and
can't find what I remember.

Anybody got a line on what I'm talking about?

I am still waiting to pull the trigger as well. Try contacting eBay user by the name of spacecoastmotorworks

They told me they only use cardboard inside. So no
better life expectancy than the stockers, I expect.
Which was not great.

My stock visors are shot so I'm curious about this.

I got rid of visors from my vert and keep a good pair of sunglasses.
This portion of car is all about functionality over form and glasses do a much better job.

I disagree. When I'm driving in the morning the sun is low enough that it gets in my eyes when headed to work (and in my eyes on my way home, darn I bought the house on the wrong side of town lol), but it can still be dark enough that sunglasses would make it hard to see stuff in the shade (country roads where deer like to lurk). And glare from the sun in my face is still worse through glasses than just blocking the sun directly.

Yep. Wife hates it, I've done it to my Hombre, my Camaro and will eventually do it to my '57.

Tint the windshield. No need for visors

SparkyJJO 08-27-2016 09:43 PM

Yeah, that's a great way to get pulled over around here. Heck, can't legally go below 50% on the front side windows.

Not to mention driving at night could suck.

Mine is fully tinted at 50% too, its great for reducing glare, and looks great. Driving towards either rising or setting sun right in your eyes still helps to have some visors. Mine are shot too, so looking for some new ones as well.

Same here. Or at least make my own but I can't find a decently matching fabric from the DIY kits they have at places like pepboys. I'm sure I could use their fabric and make my own structure out of thin plexi but their "dark grey" is way too bright for my charcoal grey that's even faded from the sun. Does anyone know even where I could get a decent charcoal grey fabric so I could make my own visor and headliner?

can always make your own with some delrin sheet cut to form and wrapped in vinyl... or unwrapped for that race car look

jimmyblue 09-17-2016 02:02 PM

That's what I did, only using ABS textured black. Close
to not-heinous, but not OE looking by any stretch. A
"race car look" is not what I'm going for.

But I do have some of that light weight carpet that's
supposed to match ebony interiors around here somewhere,
may try wrapping that around the ones I've got, just to
see.
