I hate my visors...

So after having them swing back and hit me under acceleration, I decided to make a change.

I tore them out, did some mods to have more spring pressure, but not happy.

So off to the wrecking yard I went.

Came back with some out of a caddy, visors with mirrors, vanity lights, slide out extension visor, and most important, the little clips that they latch into.


I dont have any pictures, but im headed out to mess with them now. We will see how everything fits.

Re: I hate my visors...

Install is complete. Used a smaller mouting pattern than the camaro, but it was just drivving some holes. Used the retaining clip at the other end, with just a hole drilled and a spacer under the headliner. They work much better. For those looking odd at the color... My interior is tan, so the contrast to the roof really goes well with the rest of the interior.

My drivers side mirror broke off and hit me in the face giving me a bloody nose. I never replaced it. I think its about time that I finally replace it. Thanks for reminding me!
