Ok, since Honda sunvisors are one piece, they are difficult to wrap. I tried to wrap the stock visors about 6 months ago, but I wasn't happy with the seams.

I was determined to have visors that match my headliner, so I decided to make a pair.

The stock visors are just solid pieces of styrofoam shot into a mold with a wire frame, and covered with some heat sealed vinyl.

Here's the naked visors along with a cardboard template of the shape



All I needed was the wire frame. Cut away all the styrofoam and here's what's left:



I took some ABS plastic sheet and cut 4 pieces with my template



Then I scuffed and drilled the edges to make something for the adhesive to grab



Then I built edges out of 1/4" square dowels and canned foam. The reason for using foam on the top edge was to create a flexible edge to allow the hinge to move freely. I used 1/4" because the overall thickness of the hinge is 1/2".



I cut some 1/2 MDF to the shape of the frames to hold them in place. I tacked them to the plastic with spray adhesive and once I was sure they were in the right place, I screwed them into the bottom halves.





That's pretty much it, wrapped the two halves and screwed the top to the bottom. I was able to hide the screws securing the top half in the pattern.



Overall, I'm happier with these. Building them out of 2 seperate pieces allowed for a much cleaner finish.

 

looks super clean good work!

 

very nice!!

 

Damn that's some nice diy right there. Looks good.

 

Wow, that looks really good !!!!

 

damn thats sweet, do you still have the mirror?

 

looks sweet man. great work. cant wait to see them in person

 

Good DIY dude. Is it not possible to wrap the OEM ones then?

 

Thanks everyone

No mirror right now, but I'm hunting for two identical ones with lights from some other car

Thanks

I'm sure it's possible with a sewing machine or something, I couldn't figure out a way to get around the "ear" cleanly. Wrapping each half and sticking them together turned out much better.

 

Interesting.

 

clean work homie, but not my cup of tea.

 

Not my kind of thing either, but I like how comprehensive your DIY thread is. It's a great help. +rep!

 

Where are people sourcing LV pattern material?
