Default Custom Del Sol sun visors

I was recently fixing some leaks in my 93 Del Sol Si's windshield. While doing this i found that the sun visors are quite heavy (5-10lbs a piece). Being as how short they are they never keep the sun out of my eyes anyway so with weight reduction in mind i left them off. Now i have 2 holes above the windshield where i can see the bare frame (one on each side). I want to fill in these with something but i am clueless. Anyone have any ideas? While keeping style and weight in mind.

Post a picture of the holes, but I am sure a basic OEM trunk clips could work. Those are the little plastic tabs that keep your trunk carpet from moving.

Depending on your budget, the JDM Del Sol sun visors are a bit more practical than our USDM ones.

Damn those are a lot more practical... Bit out of my price range though. Either way thank you, never even took into consideration the JDM visors would be different.

Been looking for a set myself. My wife drives a 97 Del Sol and the USDM visors are pretty useless.
I actually have EF visors in my EJ hatch..wonder if other visors from different cars would work in yours? Worth a try.

Good idea, but was thinking more along the lines of a custom setup. They dont have to move just cover the holes.

Maybe taking thin wood and bending it to shape?
sheet metal?

Anything along those lines, but swapping with another vehicle is also a worthy option.
