Default Shale/neutral sunvisors

I have a 2003 Anniversary edition with the shale and neutral interior. Regretfully finding interior parts is very hard to do. My passenger side sunvisor broke (the hardboard inside broke along the mirror). Of course finding shale visors is almost impossible. So I purchased reproductions off of eBay which were black. I picked up the colorbond neutral spray paint and sprayed the ends and the mirrors and then I took them into an upholsterer and got them covered in shale. I'm really happy the way they came out.

They look great!
ColorBond really does match well and holds up.

I was surprised how nicely the paint matched.

Nice job Les! My drivers side visor mirror cover broke at the hinge. I used some epoxy and rigged it for a temporary fix, but have been searching high and low for an OEM visor in good condition for quite a while now. You are right, 50th AE and 04' Comm interior parts are hard to find.

Where did you get your padded console cover?

Thanks
