There is a place very near my house, in a little business park that does all types of upholstery. I've driven by it every day for the past few weeks, and today I was off of work early so I decided to stop by and see what he could do about my warped, and nasty sun-visors.

I pulled in and asked him if he was able to do sun visors. He wanted to know what they were on and what they needed to look like, so we went outside and I introduced him to Das Weibchen. After a couple minutes of (very merited) admiration of my car, he looked at the sun visors.

He took me inside to show me what he had done with other visors, and said that he could recondition them with a firm/hard board inside and make them look better than new.

After looking at his work (top quality on the items he showed me), I braced myself and asked the price.

$25.00 per visor! To me that sounded like an EXCELLENT deal, so I said YUP, and he immediately took the visors off, took my details and said they would be ready by next Tuesday.

As I know that this has been discussed by a number of people, I though I'd post and let people know...

I'll post some pictures (both before installation and after) of how they turned out.
