Default 78' SC visors?

I have fluffy visors in my 78' coupe. One side is like white and the other is black. OEM costs A LOT... what do you think of these: https://www.partsklassik.com/Porsche...RoCbJkQAvD_BwE

ah yes you have the puffer fish visors made from that elusive German puffer fish. I have that rare option also .

there are quite a few vendors that can make repros of these or repair your own . I think I saw something on the bird or here about that, a search may yield something.

if that's a set id grab them . come with everything it looks like.

I bought a set from that vendor for my 83SC (black both sides).

The passenger side was fine, but the driver's side was slightly off - size wise - so it didn't align with the 'clip' that holds them in place.

I will look, I too did see something like that posted a while back. The OEM ones on Pelican are EXPENSIVE! Something like $400 EACH! ON another note , did you see my post about my idle issue?

I had a similar result with the driver's side. I never tried the passenger side. They refunded my purchase.

I am assuming these are the same ones :

Different seller but must be the same parts? Dang cuz I like the mirror and two tone. I can send mine away to get rebuild for under $100, but they would all be one color, no mirror and sewn instead of glued. Not a big deal, but these looked great. Are there any dimensional differences (sun visors) of a 78' vs later cars?
