Default no more ugly sun visor

i saw a member put a corvette sticker over the ugly warning signs on the sun visors and i thought i could do better than that. so i had one of my fathers employees take apart the visors and reupolster them in smooth black leather. Wow they look great. ill try and post a pic.

how do i get a pic on here?

First, join www.photobucket.com. (free) Then upload your pics to them. Highlight the URL beneath the pic, click EDIT, then COPY. Switch to your post. Click on the little icon with the mountain. A pop-up box will appear. Move cursor to the line with the blue //http. Right click, then PASTE. That's it!

not trying to barge in on your thread, but I have a really good friend (www.interiorsbyshannon.com) that would do it. That's on my list of mods to do when the car gets in.
