sun visors
Hi... Am wondering if any one has used any of the aftermarket sun visors available for the C5. Seems to be a few different ones out there..
watched a few vids.. not going to mention the company, don t know if he is a vendor on here, and don t want to violate the rules.. Lyle,
looks like he has some good visors there..

I bought one set off of Amazon and they were worse than the stock ones. I returned them and got a set from the BUSIDN store on Amazon. https://a.co/d/efQiWFm (I hope the link works) I'm really happy with the second set and they're 10 bucks cheaper now than when I bought mine.

I just bought a pair off eBay last week- there are lots of listings! They supposedly have the better injection molded plastic internals. They look very nice and I like the new fabric. I have not installed them as of yet, so I have no idea on the easy of installation or the brightness of the LED lights. I do like the fact that the air bag warning labels are easily removable and leave no sticky residue behind.

2024 C5of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I paid $149 for mine with free shipping. I think they are $169 now. They are a little pricy, but 1000% better than the original ones, and I'd bet they are better quality than anything you can get on Amazon. The passenger side one on mine was already replaced once (not by me) and it was broken. Having a convertible, mine do get moved every time I put the top up or down, and they are holding up very well. I can see them lasting a while. Plus the mirror lights are very bright.

I bought mine from CorvetteMods before I knew they had shipping issues and can have horrible customer service. Fortunately I got things with in a short period of time. I paid $139 for the pair. I also bought a few other items so shipping was free.

Can't you just buy them off of your Canadian Amazon?

I wish I could remember the name brand, but I got a pair off Craigslist that were new-er, never installed, for $75/pair. They're much stronger than stock, have a nice fabric, and use LEDs, which I can take or leave. IDK about the internals, but they're much stronger, and more bend resistant than OEM.....
