Tired of your old, broken or plain missing s13 sun visors?

[feito]

I'm a junkyard lover, there, I said it. Wish I could buy an annual membership. The self-service ones that is, I feel like charlie bucket when I'm in there...
Anyway, today I went in search of sun visors for my s13. Unfortunately there aren't any more s-chassis in the yards I frequent (huge ones). I remember the days when you could still find clean dashes, piggy lips, and straight panels. I even saw a wrecked kouki once... Those were the times...
Anyway, I'll cut to the chase, and Im not even sure if this was already known, but today I found out that 5th gen prelude (00 in my case) sun visors fit the s13 just perfect! They bolt on, and lock as they should on the 240sx retaining thingie. They're just a tad too big to go into the hole in the headliner when you fold it up, but they still look nice.
I just though I should share with you guys since it just keeps getting harder and harder to find find s-chassis parts, let alone in good shape.

I wish there was still a write-up on the S15 stuff. My headliner looks like shit so I want to dye it black but then the visors won't match...sucks to suck.

Not sure what you're trying to say, but these prelude visors are dark gray velvet-like fabric on one side, and a darker gray fake leather (vinyl) on the other, and doesn't match the s13's light gray headliner very well, but then again my s14 seats don't either, especially since im keeping my rear seats with the stock light gray color. It does suck to suck.

Fwiw: among other sun visor donor candidates is the honda civic. Similar dimensions but different fabric, they're cover with a light gray cloth that should match the s13 headliner perfectly. The mounting base is also very similar to the s13's with two screw holes, but they're closer to each other, so they would either have to be elongated, or im sure the mounting bases between the prelude and civic are interchangeable. I was gonna do the latter, but the prelude's visors were in better shape than the best set i could find from a civic.
