I've been calling that the "brow" but "visor" sounds better! When I installed my hardtop I fabricated it myself. I did this using a 10" rotary chop saw. Below are photos of the templating I did. I got the material from Tiara when I got my hardtop. I suspect they can send you some. It appears to be something similar to black King Starboard. Tiara did a nice job radiusing the corners, so I didn't have to set up a router to do that. A word of caution: the plastic expands significantly in the heat. I drilled and tapped my windshield to fit holes in my pieces when the pieces were in some very hot sun. They are black and I suppose they were above 100F. Later, went to install them at night when the pieces had cooled off and the screw holes were off nearly 1/8" at the end of the piece. Use black caulk underneath and between the pieces.
After install:
Here is a shot of the templating I did with cardboard. The tricky thing is that you need to cut the pieces at an angle to each other as shown (in addition to the angle that you would see looking directly from the top).
[Thanks for the pics. I'm going to do the same an make me some foam templates with all the correct angles first. That a pretty good looking hard top you have. I'd like to have to eventually have one of those too. Did you get that from Tiara?
