Recently I took my sun visors into a shop in Hampton, VA to have them recovered. Most of the stitching was inside the fabric, much like the original. The top edge, near the horizontal attaching bar, was stitched externally with about an 1/8 of an inch of fabric showing. They look very nice for a driver and for about $50 a side not a bad deal.
