TR8 Visors NLA, so I did the next best thing

As you TR8 owners know, the visors, especially in colors are NLA. What few are remaining are even more expensive than TR6 oem bumpers.

So with that in mind, I took my old, faded and wrinkled visors to my buddy Eddie at JT Leddy in Pawtucket. I asked him about doing these when he re-padded the seats and he agreed to do it if I got the matching material for the seats. So with a $20 purchase from Rimmer of inner rear panel trim, there was enough to do both of these.

There is no mirror, but my wife hates them anyhow. I have to test fit these and mark where the center supports hold them, then we'll peel back the vinyl and seal the inner part away from the rod just like the originals.

First the old, then the new.
