Roof Visor

I remember seeing someone with a Suburban that had a factory looking windscreen visor and was wondering if anyone knows where I could find one, also looking for a fiberglass hood for my 64.

Any leads?

Re: Roof Visor

That would have been Dino's Suburban, but he hasn't put it back on it yet that I've seen. I have thought about making some, but I won't have time for that for a while.

As for the fiberglass hoods, from all the reviews/feedback I've read, none of them are worth the trouble. They are very poor quality. Check out 'twiggythedrummer's build thread.

Re: Roof Visor

They are cool, but they probably cost you a few MPG on the freeway.
