Hi Rebel Yell,

Would you say the material they use that you received from them matches our 1LT/2LT sunvisors pretty much perfectly?

I would HP. I was quite impressed wit the match. You would have really stare at the covers to see any difference. A casual glace, and you wouldn't know. As I said, I liked them enough to buy from them again when I got the new C7 home. I don't think you will be disappointed.

BTW, they are several different sellers on Ebay that sell covers. Be aware that some of those covers are made of vinyl. I bought a pair for my wife's Mustang GT, and they were made of vinyl. They sucked. I wasted my money on those.

I went to the local crafts store and bought a thin sheet of felt with adhesive backing for $1.40 including tax.
Then use scissors to cut two rectangles approx 3.5" x 5.5"
You can't even see them, certainly compared to the big white and yellow nannies.
I did this in both my Brownstone 2014 and again Monday in my black 2019
They were on my 2014 for probably 4 years. I had a clear roof. I live in California and I've been to Las Vegas many times and they looked as good as the day I put them on.

Actually, I hadn't thought about or noticed them at all since fixing them to the visor, so I just went out and checked. There's no change and look like I just applied them.

I did this with my C7 when it was new and you really can't see any residue. I did it with a 4 year old C6 and there is an obvious area where the label had been.

Bought Trimbrite Carbon Fiber Adhesive Film for around $10, and cut sections to cover 3 sets of visors. Perfect, simple, I can't stand the look of the seat belt visor warnings, and don't want to make a mess trying to remove them.

Yeah, I got mine from BP&B 3¼x5½" #4184. If I were to do it again (and I still might), I'd go up to 4x6". The fit is exactly perfect, but, it's exactly perfect. I'd like it to overlap the warning label, not replace it. That 3M is sticky as hell. I'm using just the bare minimum tape. I don't want to ruin the warning sticker, just cover.
