Default Removing sun visors permanently?

Is there anyone out there making a kit for a complete sun visor delete? I know I could just take them out but then id have big holes in the windshield frame. When I had my miata's you could get these blanks to fill those holes: link. Do they make anything similar for the C5? I never use them and the car would look allot better without them when the targa's off.

No one makes a specific plug. But you can do what I do, I flip my visors all the way around and under the windshield frame, so they are almost invisible when the top is off.
A plug could be easily fashioned from a rubber plug bought at home depot/ or any automotive store. With a little ingenuity, that would be a very simple project. A little RTV to keep it in place, but could be removed.

I just took mine out, can't say that I ever really notice the holes. That being said, I'd be curious to see what's on the market for this as well

Have not seen any plug kits on the market, but I'd bet a hardware store just might have something that could be adapted to work.
