^^^Really?^^^

Come on guy, with ALL the quirky things the Land Rover Discovery has to offer, I have never heard anyone complain about the sun visors?

Can you please explain what a "nice looking," "flashy", "high quality," "stylish," "heavy duty" visor with lots of "appeal" is????

hehe

Ubove = Me being a smart-***. In all seriousness heres how it could work:
1.) Remove both visors.
2.) Using paper and a pencil, trace the outer shape of one visor.
3.) cut out the paper stencil and place it over a thin layer of foam then Cut the foam to the shape of the visor stencil. Make a total of 4.
4.) Apply one cut out foam piece to each side of each visor, using a glue or adhesive substance.
5.) Next using the same paper stencil, pick out your favorite fabric design/color, and cut the fabric to the shape of the visor. Make 4.
6.) place a fabric sheet over each side of each visor and use pins to hold everything together.
7.) sew the fabric sheets together with the visor in between each fabric sheet.
8.) Re-attach to vehicle and now you have higher quality sun visors personalized to your liking

I may go so far as to add embroiled gold lettering that says "Discovery SE". I think it would match the black interior of my 04
