PMs sent to all so far.
Update on the vinyl. The 1st batch the vinyl was close but it's too thin. The sides have an issue with splitting.
We were able to get a thicker vinyl that is robust enough to hold up. However the graining looks more like an early vinyl, but more subdued.
I took these out to the sunlight and shined them up a bit. The OEM are still more matte I suspect mostly due to age. The graining for either partern is not 100% on when you look up close on these, but they are pretty close. From 5' the only way you could tell these are not OEM is they are not collapsed internally.
Still I'm very happy with how these are turning out and production will be setting up this next week so the lower GB price will be going away soon.
Thanks to all for your support on these.
Note the picture below shows the hole near the visor. This occurs on some outer corners during production that lets the edge start to split too.

Thanks for making this happen, and for discounting the price on the visor pins too as part of the buy!

Mine are received and installed -- very nice!
I also like the info and bonus stuff that came with it. Kudos to whoever came up with your little sticker logo thing - "Work on your carma." My wife (who has a background in branding) thought it was very cool.

Here's the deal,
As many of you know the visor rebuild service we have been offering for a few years now, they aren't OEM.
We can now provide you with OEM quality visors that are difficult to tell from OEM.
We are working out the details right now but really depends on how many takers we can get to the price we can offer.
So my question is how many folks would buy "new" visors if they were less than $120 a set? If we get enough folks it can be significantly less than $120 a set for the GB
The retail on these will be $180 a set after so there will be a value to the GB.
They have the mirrors just like OEM and the flaps just like OEM. I honestly think you will have a hard time telling these from the OEM. Except they aren't crunchy.
Here's a link to video of the flap. There is some background noise so turn the volume on your speakers down a bit.

Ok....signed up for first tier group buy but kinda' didn't have the money to make it. Now I have the money for second tier but food and gas could be more important that new visors for my 914. However, this has never stopped me before. So no offense intended to Mikey or Matty but do these new visors hit the bulls eye or do they detract from the originality of the car? I mean, a little brown foam dust and a mirror flap that doesn't close isn't too bad if you want that original look, but I don't want something that shouts out "Hey, I'm not stock". I only ask because money is tight and could get a lot tighter, but I don't want to miss out on the group buy. Please be candid, I know Mikey and Matty can take the truth. Likewise I am baring my soul and had to sell the 944 Turbo this week to stay sane. I actually was debating selling 914 and keeping 944 since I fixed everything mechanical on the 944 and it goes over 140 mph nicely and smoothly, but I just couldn't do it. Plus you need $5,000 in your pocket to drive a 944 Turbo just in case which I do not have. Ok....TMI....thank you and I remain a happy member of 914 World.
All the best,
gg

I think they are pretty close, but we have shipped enough that I'd let the group make that decision.

my box was damaged...and they don't look right ( wrinkes)
Mikey914
Mar 25 2020, 09:45 PM
If they have wrinkles take a look at the “frame” I suspect they may be. If not you can use a hair dryer on low to flatten them out.
DO BE Careful. The material used is a thermal plastic with a melting point in the low 200s
Most are at least 75 degrees higher. So start low and work your way up. As long as the frame is not damaged you should be able to smooth the wrinkles out.
FedEx offers $100 base insurance if you used them
Post up some pics let’s see what ya got.

I had some extra glue squeezed out onto the mirror but I cleaned it up with a razor and scraped the glue off no biggie.
But the wrinkle near the outer pin seems brittle and crunchy sounding.
My concern is after time and sunlight it might crack or tear at this location?

Not able to get it to download. It’s possibly the area we opened up for the pins?
If so it was done thermally. That would be why it’s crunchy. I can exchange for unopened holes if you want.
I’ll try the download again, but I suspect this is what you may be looking at.

Ahoy Mike, just wanted to ask if there was any update on the mounting screws for the visor pins. I need to buy a set and a replacement frunk cable but was going to try and buy at the same time to combine shipping.
Thanks,
Nick

Apr 4 2020, 08:45 PM
Yes we made them and sent out for plating, they did zinc instead of nickle. So they are being re done. We also made new turn signal screws just like OEM, and there is a story behind them too.

Finally installed my set this morning. These visors are awesome and make a huge difference to the interior of the 2.0. I should have grabbed two sets and upgraded both cars.
