Apparently some Chinese visors are different than others. Look closely when ordering. Was a perfect match except the mirror is a completely different shape and size. Reordered a different chinesium will arrive soon. Hopefully next unit is a better match. Other than that seemed spot on!

You need to shop around. I purchased this set off Amazon and made sure they are the same product that other Corvette-specific vendors are offering for $159 a set. They are the exact ones and I paid $89 a set. I chose Amazon because I have Amazon Prime and their return/refund policy is good. I just installed these over the weekend and they look and perform great. A lot better looking than the tired OEM visors with cardboard guts. These have reinforced plastic guts as well as an improved internal hinge and LED vanity lights. The material is similar to that found in the C6 and C7 generations. Plus the child safety stickers peel right off with no residue.
While I'm certainly not against buying cheap **** on amazon and I do my fair share, If I needed visors I would look into the units being sold from C&S Corvettes. They are supposed to be the latest greatest cats *** units. No complaints from anybody. This way you don't have to keep ordering cheapos hoping for the best.

These are the same visors sold by C&S Corvettes for $150+. They were one of the Corvette-specific vendors I originally referenced and they match exactly to the ones they promoted on You Tube. Plus, C&S currently lists them as sold out as I checked their website first.

Good to know!
That's pretty pathetic then if you ask me. I get having a business to run and needing to make money to keep the doors open but that is terrible.
For the record I actually bought my visors from the evil Corvette Mods years ago lol. and they actually showed up!
I've never found a need for sunvisors in a C5 so they just stay stowed. I just wanted the debris to stop raining down on me every time I closed the door.

I share your general sentiment but where do you think C&S is getting them? It's very likely coming from the same factory, just being shipped from a different vendor.
You can always send C&S $70 when you buy a set from Amazon.

Read post #8 directly above yours.
and just so we're clear, I've never spent a dime with C&S.
Thought I would add some pics of the Amazon visors installed. These are the same, exact visors that C&S and other vendors offer on their website. The key differentiator to me, vs. the other visors available on Amazon and other sites are the LED light panels and the material. Many of the other visors have different, halogen lights and black headliner fabric to mimic the OEM look. Since the OEM visors failed so miserably, I didn't want OEM, rather an improvement on OEM.
Now compare these the the visors sold by C&S per their video below. After seeing this, I went onto their website but they did not have any in stock. I then checked some other popular Corvette parts vendors and saw the same set around the same price. Based on prior success with sources parts through Amazon, I then checked there and was able to find the exact visors.
That is my next upgrade. Unfortunately, I am looking to buy from those made in USA not just shipped from USA. I know it may be hard to find but I want to support our vendors in the USA. Cheers!!!

They will prime them in and then sell them to you lol....
Literally watched a local bookstore try to do that to me... I could see what they were doing in the reflection behind them. Said they had to "check their supplier"... They told me it would take a week to get me the book and quoted me a crazy price... they were literally amazoning it to themselves and then quadrupling the price.
I walked out and ordered it from Amazon myself and had it in a day.

There seems to be two factories doing these by the slightly different light lenses patterns. But I ended up getting mine off eBay (seem to be darn close to if not identical to the C&S items) and I was very satisficed with them. YMMV.
