So I'm slowly gathering pieces for my 2G GSX, to go from tan/black interior to all black interior. One of the things I don't want to have to wrap or dye, is the sun visors. Now I've NEVER seen a 2G OR 3G eclipse spyder up close in person, So I have no idea what the sun visors actually look like. BUT basically what i need to know is how similar or different are the visors between the 2G and 3G eclipse spyder. And did the 2G spyder have black visors? because I know the 3G spyder does. As far as I know, I can get the 3G spyder black visors to work in my 2G
 
The 2G spyders only came with tan or gray visors, even the '99 models with the black interiors still had gray visors. I've run into this same issue and sought out a 3G eclipse. Turns out we can't use them without modding something. The 3G visors have a triangular mount base with 3 screws whereas our 2Gs have 2 screws. The only way I could see us being able to use the 3G ones, is to take them apart and swap the mount bases out. I don't know if it'll work though, haven't had the opportunity to try it yet. Hope this helps out. If you do try it, let us all know. :dsm:

I am somewhat in this project. I have no headliner at the moment.
I plan to go to an upholstery shop to get the headliner and the visors done in black. I went to the junk yard and found the back speaker panels and manual door covers in black. I plan to go back and convert my spray painted panels to the OEM black ones.
