Vanity Mirror Delete?
I've noticed a few threads regarding these coming apart and being a pain to repair. Anyone know if Chevrolet had visor option WITHOUT the mirrors or any aftermarket interior companies like Apsis or VE that can remove the cloth and delete the visor all together with a leather or something? I think the car's interior would be better without the vanity mirrors personally.

I was thinking of doing the same. I covered the visors in leather, and they are now too heavy for the clips. If the visor is up, it will come out of the clip when accelerating hard. In addition the mirrors look ugly. I might as well throw them away and sew new leather covers.

The leather has to be very thin for best results. But I would prefer premium cloth over leather now for this job.

Don't see why you couldn't take the mirrors off and then cover the sunvisor with leather. I'm sure someone like Matt at Vette Essentials can do it for you.
