Are these guys insane?

[Mean_Green]

Both sun visors are showing their age, dirty from smoking (whoever owned it before) and fabic pulling away a bit in spots. Since I had the headliner replaced, I figured I'd look into visors. Upholstery guy that did the headliner says visors are difficult and don't always go back together well.

So i go to looking today .... used sets full of stains are $80+ and those without stains are $120 or more. Each.


Ummmm ... no.

check for fitment (crossover) years, on my 2012 the 07-2020 will fit, the benefit being the 15+ are factory led

I don’t blame you, any used set will probably just dry rot given their age. My son put some from LMC in his 98, they looked pretty good. They were made by Acme and are on Rockauto, Amazon, stockinteriors.com, etc.

That last site will send you free fabric samples and may be able to match your headliner fabric if you have the color code.

^^^ From what I'm seeing, they want $258 EACH that does not included the lights. Or maybe it's $179 each, $358 total, but that's still way too much.

It's the way of the world now with this inflation. A buck today is worth half of what it was in 1995.

 

[east302]

It looks like they’re priced by the set. I forgot, LMC just sells the pickup version without the clip on the end. I doubt that the ones at stockinteriors would include the slide-out portion of the visor, though.

 

[Rocket Man]

I highly recommend Stock Interiors although I haven't seen their visors, only carpet. I see they sell the sets above for either $130 for the lower end version or $159 for the higher end and add $100 if you want the passenger side mirror. Not bad for a pair IMO.

Edit: they state these do NOT have the plastic slide-out visor.

 

[Mean_Green]

Those prices are not at all reasonable for such a simple item.

Plus mine has the mirrors and lights, though I'll never use either. I'll check the 'U yank it' yard when I go in a couple of weeks.

 

[Fless]

Maybe check www.car-part.com to see if they list them, and for pricing and availability.

 

[Rocket Man]

I mean if you don't care about the mirrors, its $80 each for a brand new item made to match your headliner material, with free color samples sent to you so you can match it. Around here, $80 is 30- 45 minutes of labor and that doesn't include materials. Your other option is maybe a bit less for 25 year old visors that probably look more like what you already have. Headliners and visors don't last that long.

Junk yard or Pick-A-Part is where I'd go.

This is just nuts.

Yes they are insane but some knucklehead just bought them said they're sold.

Duplicolor fabric paint dye is like 10$

You do understand you’re bidding against guys who are building $50k restomods or show trucks in that model year? The C10 Chevrolet pickups are the hottest truck to build and have been for years. Any parts that interchange with the pickups, like visors, are bound to be in super high demand.

If your mirror flaps arent broken its not to much work to rebuild them. But finding mirror flaps that are unbroken is hard and pricey

This is mine i restored with LED daylight white bulbs
