Leather sun visor covers are they worth getting!

Hi guys... my sun visors need updating they are OK but can look better..i was thinking in purchasing some covers from the UK! There is a custom leather interior insert company on eBay where they have leather parts or kits so you can cover your interior parts with leather. here is a link to give you an idea about what i am talking about

I was interested in the sun-visor covers to make my visor more appealing!...has anyone purchased these products and if so are they any good meaning do they last long and are they of good quality...cheers

Not a bad idea for the price. My only worry is that they would fit loosely giving a bulky and obvious cover appearance. It's 3 times the money, but I think I'm going to go with lakewell: Sunvisors (Pair) Porsche 911

I used this service - $80 I think for the pair, and they turned out great. You do lose the passenger mirror however, and you gain a beading on the visor that was not factory. But they look flawless otherwise.

+1 on vinyl specialties in Depew ny. They did mine, quick turnaround, reasonably priced and they look great. Better looking than the original puffy misshapen ones. You should send them the original frames though.

I had my sun visors redone in black leather by Classic9. Turned out very nice and kept the mirror on passenger side. Cost was $200 total. I figured Vinyl replicas are close to that price so why not leather.
