Default C5 sunvisors.....

I saw, in person@ C&S, the sun visors that Lyle/C&S sells. Does anyone know for sure which ones Amazon is selling that are identical to what C&S sells? There's Aumzong and Wztepeng?? Thanks guys...

I do not know.

All I know is that I'm perfectly fine with my Nakuuly Sun pair picked up from Amazon for $69. The mirror door even works right. I mention that only because others had issues with their replacements.

Please read my first post, as I've seen them at C&S. Something tells me it wouldn't make his day if I asked him if the ones I could get for $90 less were the same as the ones I saw!!

That's exactly what happened to the pair I bought last year!! Mirror door on wife's side broke one hinge. They are nice visors, but door hinges aren't that great....

Perhaps you could call Lyle and tell him that you bought a replacement pair last year (not from him), and that the mirror door hinge broke. You can ask him about the quality of the mirror door hinges on the unit he sells. If he says that his are good, see if he'll offer a warranty. If he's willing to guarantee that they'll last, and is willing to stand behind that guarantee, then it might be worth the extra $90.

I bought these and the first set looked great but one mirror didn't open all the way. I sent them back and the next set worked great. I couldn't imagine that the C&S set could be any better.

I'm seeing 8 or 10 manufacturers on Amazon. Amazon's "choice," FWIW, is from a company named Busidin. Ratings on all 8 or 10 manufacturers have 4.4 or 4.5 stars out of 5. Interestingly, the "Choice" visors are 4.4 rated, and the Nakuuly are 4.5. Go figure.

I have a suspicion that they all may be made by the same company, as they look pretty much identical. Same company may make them, then they're given a "house branding." I'll have to check specs closer, like for size.

I bought the same exact ones he sells for half the price on Amazon. His videos imply that he has some unique distribution but they are readily available elsewhere.







Search for "Automotive Sun Visor with Updated Bright LED Lights Sunvisors Replacement for Corvette C5 Chevrolet 1997-2004 Replaces 10442033 10442034 Left Driver and Right Passenger Side" which is the description used on the Busidn store.

Thank you very much! Your post was very helpful, and the info you provided is exactly what I'm looking for. Some said to ask Lyle! Asking any business owner if the product online for half what that business owner is asking for the same product is a good way to **** him off, and quickly!!! I'm trying to save money, not make enemies. I live in Michigan, so Lyle is over 1,300 miles away. That complicates any warranty claims I may have. I saw the product at C&S recently, when I was in the area, and Lyle was kind enough to show them to me. It's not feasible to see the online products in person before ordering. BTW, I like your 2 tone seats. What brand covers are they?Again, thank you for your time.

It's not easy studying some things in a pic online. These are one of them. I'm looking for people who may know for sure thru ordering and installing them, and if they like them or not!

The mirrors are not all the same and you can see where the light buttons are and also the shape is a little different on a number of them.

Either way don't go calling a guy that is selling them to ask him who has it cheaper on Amazon was my point.

Note too that the ones he sells have in reviews a customer noting they were the same one.

Also know that the less you pay the odds are they are a cheaper knock off. Not everything is the same.

Besides if the $30 break you are not out that much.

I had purchased the $79 ones and they were very good. I ended up sending them back as the dealer with out me asking put new visors on before I picked up the car. I think mine are GM ones again but they will last me a while and did not cost me anything.

I mentioned, a couple of times, it's not cool to call any business, and ask if the product they sell are the same ones for $70 cheaper online!! Yeah, the ones I bought last year have a white, plunger pin that pushes against an internal switch. Its spring is very stiff. Too stiff. Wouldn't buy any of them with that style switch. I don't see any with that white pin, either. Hinges are like a spring loaded loop, and that spring is very stiff, too. I'm aware you get what you pay for. Just looking for what Lyle sells, nothing more, nothing less.

Thanks. I think those are the "Amazons Choice" ones, and also one of the two brands I was looking at. The other brand is Nakuuly. Are yours the ones Lyle sells?

In reviews it said they were. They looked right and they appeared to be of decent quality. Anything was better than factory. If my new ones die I may go back to these. Free was too good to pass up even for factory ones.
