Sun Visors

[JBreu]

I will be doing a lil interior changing with a black dash cap, black steering wheel and changing some of the interior moldings to black to go with the black center console.....I was wondering if anyone has used newer sun visors for our type of cars and if so...ANy pics or info would be cool...I will be looking to do away with my brown visors and going with black ones.....Thanks 8)

Don't mean to rain on your parade, but I think the brown interior is nice with your paint color, and I don't think black would look right.
It'd be a lot less work to dye your console brown instead of doing the entire interior black... food for thought...

Joe, as far as brown interiors go... you've got one of the nicest I've seen. Is that the original radio I see there?

it'll be interesting to see how the black dash cap looks. Will it cover the guage clustor area too? I think if you paint things black like the doorskin arm-rest & strap, it'll blend well with the black dash. Oh, and get some black carpet for the bottom of the doors.

... Can't say I can help you with the visors... but you should just be able to screw your's off the handles, and put on new ones... It'd be cool to get some wider ones off a truck.

Anyways, maybe I've already asked this before, but where did you get that center console out of? And those seats?

yeah... I hadn't thought of that... but you raise a good point.

Khan,
I got the console from ClassicConsoles.Com and they call it a HumpHugger.....The radio in an after market one with a newer SS Monte Trim..........The seats were a Craigslist find. When I scored the car I found them the exact way they are now and the guy lived two towns away..He took them out of a street rod he was working on. Scored them for $30.00. I like your idea to paint the door straps and arm rests as well. Here is the pad I was looking at :

oh I see,
I think that cap will work out... it'll keep enough brown to not contrast too much. It'll show off all the cool brown parts like the gauge cluster area and woodgrane Monte trim on the dash.

..yeah painting the armrest and strap black will show off nicely, without distrubing the nice brown on the rest of the door.

Someone has had to put newer sun visors on their ride.....

i think most all gm cars till today use the same 3 screw flange on all cars. id say measure the center to center to center of the screws, make a card board template and go to the junk yard. ya never know, ya might be able to get them from another car.

Yeah I got new ones from Vinyl Specialties. Mine were for a t-top car, which are different, this place has 'em, and they fit very nice. They got both visors and the hardware for t-top and non-t-top G-body cars!

They do restoration or replacement: they will just make 'em in your choice of color (fabric or vinyl) and they do all G-bodies:

Prices not bad. Let me know if you end up ordering from them. They're great.


Not the best pic, but a pic nontheless (Oh and I ordered mine with black cloth with mirrors!):
