Hello everyone, I love my car, but upon arrival there were no sun visors for the driver or passenger side. I was hoping someone had some they were wanting to sell or donate lol

Thanks!

hmm it seems like most people remove the rear view mirror and sun visors...which is what was done on my car. Is the visibility really THAT BAD with them on???

 

[Randy Chase]

That depended on your height in the seat. Some taller people found their view, specially of stoplights, obscured a bit. Shorter people like me... I liked the vestigal visors.

I do have an extra set I think. Have to check.

If I sell mine (which were removed at 6k miles and kept in cold storage) for half price I could buy my wife something really nice for Valentine's Day.

I guarantee there are 2000 pairs of these scattered in garages across the country. If it wasn't -5 in Detroit I'd climb in the attic space above mine to locate them.

Ken, all you need instead of these in your car is a baseball cap tucked behind the seats. Works better too.

alright guys, I'm interested but I just spoke to the previous owner of my car and he says he may have them and the micro rear view mirror laying around. If he doesn't have them I'm coming to do business

As everyone has said.....90+ % of everyone takes them off. I had my car for about 30 minutes before I removed them. MOST of the time you can get them for free here.....all you have to do is ask.....kind of like a stock exhaust.....Try 'em.....you'll wind up taking them off.

They're really that bad? I just hate when the sun comes up over the mountains. It blinds me! Even with glasses.

They are not that bad at all. I cannot think of a single Elise or Exige here in SA that has had the visors removed. In fact I think I have even used mine twice...

 

[Randy Chase]

As I said, I liked having mine on the car. I took a set off the first Elise since it was a competition only car. I also modified one set to insert a Valentine 1 remote into the visor for a nice semi-hidden radar detector install.

I just checked my log...

Picked up the car in Chicago on 8/26/2005.
Removed visors 8/28/2005.
Removed hardtop for the first time 8/29/2005.
Wife's first ride in car (4th anniversary) 8/31/2005.

She's never seen the car with visors

 

[ogravty]

Will the sun visor from the elise fit the exige? I keep seeing visors with no hardware for installation. How are they attached to the car?

they are selling for $75/pair over in parts for sale. Going like hotcakes....

 

[SwingLo]

They literally just slide on

On a sep note, I hate seeing the exposed metal visor stub. Not sure which one,but found some roller ball pens. Unscrewed the pen part and it fits perfectly over the stub. Hit it with some black krypton fusion spray paint and slide it on. Looks factory and finished. Free
