Default Sun visors question.

Plastic fold out mirror is falling out and does not light up on drivers side. Same on passenger side but still lights up. What’s my best solution? I’m guessing big new visors? Drivers side sits in place like **** too.

There are some god aftermarket visors available for $150 or so, and there is a set of visor delete "plugs" available on corvetteclips.com
I actually just deleted my visors three days ago-

Here are the plugs installed; the post clips near the rear view mirror have to stay in for the sake of holding up the trim.

Here is the car from a distance with the visors removed
Just an option for your consideration; I personally enjoy being able to see out of the entire windshield.

I like that. I also like the C6 Grand Sports you have. I’m planning on getting a pair of replicas and having them powder coated. They offer a lot of viewing space for nice work done on the calipers also. Haven’t decided on what to do with the calipers yet but since you have the GS rims I plan on using. Here’s what I’m going for

On the C6 Grand Sport rims of course. And what ever loud candy type color that’ll pop from the blue on the calipers.

Those will look great! The toughest decision is choosing the many color combos! Thank you for the kind compliments!

Behind the blue what do you think could really pop behind black. I’m thinking obviously white or a pearl white gloss.

Yes! And without having too many colors. The powder powder coater also adds insignia’s. Being that I started out with a Punisher theme. Without getting to cheesy I’m considering a Punisher logo.
