Sun visor question

[PurdueGuy]

I'm looking into a sun visor upgrade for my '99 Saturn SC2. I noticed today while junkyarding that '90's Grand Am's and some other '90's and early '00's GM cars seem to share the same 3-screw mounting design. I didn't get a chance to test and see if the visors really would swap, but they look the same, and I could easily believe that Saturn dipped into the parts pin for their visor hardware.

So, what I'm hoping to find is that some model/trim level that uses this 3-screw mounting design (for the swivel end) came with sun visors that had the extension flap piece. I have it in my suburban, I've had it in buicks past, and would like that little slide out extension in the Saturn.

I know exactly what you mean, because my Achieva has that 3-screw visor.

I would assume all N, L, and J bodies have it. It would seem plausible that the SC might have the same design.

While googling to find you an answer, I stumbled upon your thread at www.sixthsphere.com

Seems you already have a bunch of cool mods!

I can't believe you re-did your whole interior!!!

Make sure they're not too wide to fit between the mirror and the pillar.

Make sure they're not too wide to fit between the mirror and the pillar.

I don't think they will be - I started to make some LeSabre visors work at one point, until I noticed the bigger problem - they were long enough that I had to lean waaay back to turn them to the side. I think if I can find an N, L, or J body one that has the extension, it should be smaller than the lesabre visor and fit just fine between the a-pillar and my overhead console. <3 my overhead console.

I take it this is the thread you came across, Ted?

Yeah, the car has definitely come a long way. I haven't yet posted info on my engine swap. I spun the bearings on the original engine (160k+ miles & an overrev while autox'ing), so I had to speed up my plans to swap in an engine I had acquired that has SCAT rods & hyper pistons, and was of the older 5-bolt exhaust manifold design. The 5-bolt heads have larger ports, and you can bolt up a '91-'92 OEM header in place of the cast exhaust manifold. I went ahead & had a whole new exhaust system put on, upgrading from the 1 3/4" stock piping (which leaked badly at the resonator) to a 2.5" with new high flow magnaflow cat, large magnaflow resonator, and mandrel bends (no muffler, the large resonator acts as the muffler, though it's still a bit loud). The beefed up engine and the larger exhaust both get me a step closer to my intentions to do a turbo setup for 200-250whp.

Yes, thats the thread.

Just awesome work dude!

I love projects like this! Creative use of OEM GM-sourced parts.

Big thumbs up!
