Default Can you make light oak sun visors ?

I have a 2004 with light oak , can you make light oak ones?
I'm thinking that black leather may be ok with a light oak seats interior , what does everyone think?

PM me your phone number and we can discuss your color scheme and available options as Vinyl is not our standard material.
I actually think I have some Vinyl from a few years back when I was working like a Mad scientist in in my garage on our design. I could use that and it would save you a little as I believe its just enough for one or two sets. A big part of our cost is driven by the labor involved in making them. Since we just dont just take an old set and recover them as some have done in the past. But I like the way you think!

Do your seats have any Black in them are they OEM or custom? We can do light oak, send me a Pic as there seems to bve some confusion out there on light Oak vs. Shale vs. Neutral Tan etc. The light oak isnt actually very "light". But in answer to your question, I can indeed do actual light oak, which is what I would recomend. what other colors do you have in your interior?

Adrian - I got your quote for the $295 for the vinyl. Seems kind of steep, but I'll mull it over. Thanks.

No worries ,sorry we couldn't give you more of a break, alot of work goes into making a set since we are not just reupholstering an old set with a leather cover. We literally take each one completely apart, backboards, mirror glass, mirror frames, mirror doors, original covers, spine, bezels, replace all the weak parts that always break with stronger materials we have laser cutcut and laminated ourselves, afterwhich we reassemble , glue, punch,then wrap with leather and handstich it all. Our goal is to make this the last set you ever buy, so far non have come back in the three years we have been making them, but if one should we would repair / replace for free. We also offer a 50.00 restitching service should someone change up there color scheme, which hand stitching lends itself nicely to.

Sorry didn't mean to ramble there, we are just rather proud of our product and want you to know what you are getting and paying for.

Thanks Adrian - that's perfect and will be lots of help to the others. I have seen the photos and no doubt you guys are top notch. I just have a number of bigger priorities right now, with a thin wallet, so I guess I have to deal with the floppies for a while more.

Thanks DarkStang, We appreciate the props as we all know our OEM visors are not the best. its funny some of the cores we get in, mirrors rubber banded in place, both visors cracked in half, liquid nails all over them, zip ties, wire hold the mirror frame, its funny in a sad way . I tell you what, us corvette owners are pretty damn creative . but all things aside, it;s one of the first things one see's when they sit in your car or when they walk up to look at your awesome car to peek inside when we have your Targa or Top down. I got Tired of having such an amazing car only to be embarrassed when crumbs from the OEM mirrors fall into my or my passengers laps, or the ole flapping dog ears in the wind experience. It kinda takes away from our Iconic muscle cars.You wouldn't believe the amount of work that goes into making a set the way we do. We completely tear them down and rebuild them with stronger materials so our customers will never have to buy another set as long as they own their Vette. I have customers that have gone through a few OEM sets before they bought ours. They just look like what our cars should have come with IMHO. We think they add a nice touch and look pretty sharp when the top is down or targas are off.















Now picture someone walking up to your car and seeing this or some other fuzzy thing.





So So Sad

Just our 2 cents, and thanks again for the Props

We would Love to Help you, I see you are one of Sandy's customers. Her and I spoke last night and I have nothing but good things to say about her, her business philosophy, all her/my customers I have met and of course her Stellar interiors. That being said VE and I will be partnering to add that final touch to her interior packages with Visors. Just let me know what you had in mind and if its a special VE color her and I will work together to get you a perfect match. Most of the hides we have will look great with her interiors, but she does have a few colors that she has offered to provide us for her customers. She is sending me a swatch ring for us to compare our leather colors with those she puts uses in her interiors. PM me your number and we can discuss futher, your vette is stunningly beautiful, we would be honored to have our Visors displayed on such a work of art!
