My new sunvisors!

I didn't like how my OEM sunvisors were looking nor the fact they didn't really go with the red interior. So the local upholstery guy fixed them for me for $80.00

Those look sweet! Great addition to an already kickass interior. I love your center console, who did that for you?

I refinished my center console in Torch red. Dennis at Double D Mods originally supplied me the Double din bezel.

Thanks! I hadn't noticed that you're in Texas; that's within driving distance.

Thanks for the compliments!

I'm going to see how long I can go without the visor lamps and mirrors. Otherwise I'm going to change the mirror and lamp frames to red and reinstall them, which will require me to be careful so I don't screw up the new sunvisors.

Very nice...did you have to really put a lot pressure on the brackets to get the original ones out. I tried but the screwdriver started to bend and I knew that I would break it it I pushed to hard...just wondering

Your interior is amazing, of course. And, the new sunvisors came out perfect, judging from the pictures.

Once I did the drivers side I had no trouble doing the passenger side knowing what to expect.
