911 Sun Visors Remade

FYI

Thought I would give the Trim guy down the street a shot at rebuilding the visor before I ran off and spent nearly $300 for a new set.

Here's the result:




I am pretty pleased with the results. Total cost was $80.

Didn't take a before picture but you all know what it looks like -- little mini pillows. In a Targa they stood out like a sore thumb.

I am sure you can have your local trim guy replicate my results but here is the details of the guy who did mine:

Stafford Trim
12005 Murphy Rd
Houston, TX 77031
(281) 495-5894

PS - No comments on my wife's choice of dining room table cloth

I should have noted that I gave them the original visors and they built around the original wire frame. So, no issue with mismatched parts or sizes.

They look great.
I've been tempted to send mine to a local reupholsterer. Can't come back looking any worse then they do now.
