Default Replacement sun visors c4

Ecklers and corvette central both have replacement lighted sun visors. Anyone know if they both are selling the same items, or is one better than the other?

Ive bought a ton of replacement parts from Top Flight. Everything has been great quality, better than oem. I plan on getting the visors from them as well.

They are probably selling from the same supplier.

Only little gotcha on the visors is that theres a toothed washer holding it in, you'll probably destroy it getting it out, but when that washer pops up, theres a spring that can fly away. Be sure to catch that spring.

They do not, or didn't the last time I replaced one. I was able to reuse that washer, pry off with a flathead screwdriver and managed to tap it back down so the teeth grabbed.

They seem so expensive for press-board covered with headliner material.

ANY DIY's on revitalizing sun visors? I am thinking of another of a more modern car with the extendable plastic sleeve that pulls out to help with the side coverage on the door window...
