If you can't buy them in the color you need, then re-upholstering them may be your only option. Some owners have installed leather on the visors - check with a vendor like Vette Essentials if you want to consider doing that.

I plan to upgrade my visors to leather when I mod the rest of my interior.

Any good auto upholstery shop could match up material in the color you need if you don't want to go with leather.

^ yeah..my drivers visor is crap. I guess the mdf or whatever broke from the hinge. Since I don't really use them, I was thinking maybe a different GM vehicle would fit. I would like it to be smaller and really dont want to remove them entirely.

P.S. I am in Florida and grew up in the New Bedford area. Still have family and friends up there.
