| Anybody have a set of dark charcoal visors? If not how about a set that have good boards inside them that I can recover. I started to recover my visors but the boards inside are turning into sawdust. |

Let me check the condition of the ones in my 89. I have a set that I want to replace them with. If they're decent, you can have them to recover (they're black). _________________ 92 Camaro

| Thanks Al, if they're good can you just bring them down to dyno? Not looking like the bird will be ready by then.. but you never know. |

Brandon, I checked the visors in the 89 when I got home today. Looks like the two layers of board are starting to separate on both visors. Only other concern I had was the size, I heard somewhere that T-Top visors are slightly smaller that those in a Hardtop. Anyway, these aren't in much better shape than yours are. _________________ 92 Camaro

| OK, thanks anyway. I've been trying to catch Marv here.. see if I can steal slinky's. He's hard to get ahold of though. So anybody else that has a set, I'm still looking. |

Hard tops are larger and flat.
T-Tops are shorter and convex. |

Do you still need the visors? I have a decent set of black ones from the 88 IROC (T-top) I parted. Passengers side has a couple small flaws in the fabric but the drivers is near mint. Pay for shipping and their yours.

| Let me see how my home recovering/sewing job works out. My car's a hardtop, not sure how the t-top visors would fit in it. |

They are different.
T-Top Cars visors are more hotdog (long and skinny) wise, and have a curve to them to roll around the T-Top opening.
Hardtop visors are fatter and 100% flat.
I've had both too. These are my experiances. |

I've had a total of 14 F-bodies
including all roof designs, they are definatly suposed to be curved to match the roof in your t-top car Tony same as vert visors _________________
