So I hated the way mine would vibrate and shimmy at higher speeds, sometimes causing my vision to blur.

I investigated various options, and did nothing till I had my off, and had time.

I took fibreglass with resin, cut the fibreglass out into the appropriate shape, resin'd it sufficiently, and then laid a second piece of fibreglass matting onto the main surface area. I was careful to leave the vent on the visor open, and thus was able to achieve a stiffer sun visor.

Because the stiffness is on the main area, it still allows the sides to flex a little, which is important as it needs to break up and away when in an accident. However, it is much more rigid than stock, and I painted the job underneath with a rattlecan of black spraypaint.

There are no touching parts, and looks like stock too.
