Default New sun visor

I'm looking to buy a new driver sun visor because the mirror door hinge snapped off. Does anyone know a good place to buy them from that look and feel very similar to the original ones? I imagine GM doesn't make them anymore.

I replaced my OEM visors a couple years ago with some that have integrated LEDs like these. They work good, no issues

Another option, just remove them permanently. I was surprised by how much more visibility I had with the top up or down on my 04 Vert without them. Corvette Clips sell a plug for the hole. BTW, I did purchase new visors should I decide to sell the car. Never know when something else will go out of production on the C5.
