Does anyone know of a source for replacement sun visors for my 01 vert?
I could get them reskinned at the upholstery shop but figured it might be easier to just replace them. The only ones I could find were for older models so far.

I have the same problem and I have never seen any for sale either. I was thinking of asking my wife to try and recover them... Did you get a quote from the upholstery shop?

Not yet but I have a good shop nearby so I guess I will have to take them over there and ask them.
I thought about making some carbon fiber ones but don't have much free time right now

junkyard? That's all I can think if you can't find new ones from a dealer or a factory supplier.

my brother-in-law said he got some for his vert from Late Model Restoration, but I can't find them on their website now

I was thinking about asking the upholstery shop about recovering them with leather to match the seats. Should last a lot longer than the cloth.

You should just get a replacement sun visor from a wholesale company
like LRS it's pretty easy.

Late Model Restoration does not sell them just like already stated in the thread.

Got an estimate yesterday from the upholstery shop to recover my visors:
$50 each to recover them with the original fabric
$90 each to recover them with leather that matches the seats

After looking at the visors again I think I will just get the leather and recover them myself. Doesn't look too difficult.

Well, I found an upholstery shop to recover them for a reasonable price ($80 for both of them). He had a hard time keeping the stitches straight but other than that I am very happy with them. Here are the before and after pics. What do you guys think of them with the vinyl cover?

If I had spent that much i would have made him redo the stitching but at $80 for the pair I figured I couldn't complain too much. Still looks better than the torn and faded original ones.

I've seen some decent looking ones on Ebay. I need to replace my passenger side one, the fabric is starting to pull away from the visor. In my case though, it might be easier to fix it myself somehow.
