Summit racing has some for Nissan cars & trucks. Maybe the Sentra ones are close in size to the 510...

I've been wanting a set too, but they are definitely hard to find and usually high priced. PCD's got a good point with retrofitting something that's close in size. I've also seen some in Japan that looked really nice, and it turned out that the owner made them on his own. I will probably go this route, unless someone takes one for the team and orders those Sentra visors to see if they fit!

 

Also, the visors on that brown coupe up there look homemade, just not as well :lol:

looks like a wedge fit of some sort.

edit: looks like some tape is involved as well.

Mine attached using 5 clips per visor. You pull the window rubber out of the channel, insert the clips, then the visors snap onto them, replace rubber & done deal.

To take the guesswork out of it somebody could use some cardboard & make a template of a Sentra window frame then compare that to a 510 window frame.

HUmmmmm....

I remember seeing a Truck.... chevy blazer... I was measuring but never finished getting the Data since I dont own a 510... But the 80's S10 has a similar door design as the 510... Look into that?

if people would pay like 100$ for a pair, and i had a cardboard template and some dimensions... i could most def make those at our sheet metal shop out of stainless or thin aluminum... if anyone is interested, i will make a set for my 720 then post pics to show you my credibility, one set would take about a week, it would take so long just because i am shop forman and dont get much time (one set would take an hour of total time, just ten to fifteen minutes at a time) .... if a hundred sounds too much or too little or you dont think it can be done, let me know

well i just made a cardboard template for my pickup. so if i get a request or two i will make them, test fit on my truck then meet up with the person who ordered and help install to make sure of the best fit. the only thing is the stainless we have is very high quality (last like 100 years on a building roof) but is not polished, i dont want to polish them because i dont have apropriate tools so i will sell them unpolished... i have not polished the stainless we have at the shop but im sure it will shine up real nice.

 

and i can make it so they wont sag in the middle

 

 

looking at price of current ones on jcwhitney.... 100$ sound a bit too high, depending on how many time i cut myself... prob like 50-70$$ per set of two (one right, one left)....
