Did the gray visors come from an Envision, or something else? I've gone through two eBay pairs of Envision "gray" that were really shale/tan... Not sure I really want to try a third time, I'm tired of going back to the post office to return them.View attachment 18467
Both sides installed today!
They came off of a previous gen Regal, I believe.Did the gray visors come from an Envision, or something else? I've gone through two eBay pairs of Envision "gray" that were really shale/tan... Not sure I really want to try a third time, I'm tired of going back to the post office to return them.
They look pretty close with the flash on, but without the flash it really shows the difference (existing visors are on top in all the pics).

I have a 2019 TourX Essence, black interior, moonroof, if that matters or helps anyone else in the future.
My guess isLooks like a 2016 Regal used the extending visors; GM Parts Direct shows three colours available, black, cashmere & titanium. I'm pretty sure I know what black looks like, but can't find any good examples of the cashmere, and the titanium (as seen on Ebay) ranges between a warm tan to a light grey. If anyone can supply a GM part number for a visor that comes close to the shale, please post. Other than that, here's the 2016 parts page for the sun-visors:

Thanks, I just ordered a set of titanium (gray) from the previous gen Regal, part numbers 22800048 (driver) and 22800051 (passenger). I was able to find a new ones for just slightly more than used, so I shouldn't have to worry about condition, and hopefully I can trust that these will actually be the right color. Once they arrive next week, I'll confirm if those part numbers are actually matches.They came off of a previous gen Regal, I believe.
make sure to swap over the mirror lights as the newer ones are LED. They only go in one way, so if they don't work at first, flip them over.Thanks, I just ordered a set of titanium (gray) from the previous gen Regal, part numbers 22800048 (driver) and 22800051 (passenger).

Success! The previous gen Regal "gray" or "titanium" appears to be the right match.
These are the listings I bought from - "new overstock" for only slightly more than many used/salvage options:
Drivers Side: 22800048 Sunshade/Sun Visor LH Titanium New OEM GM 2011-17 Buick Regal | eBay
Passengers Side: 22800051 Sunshade/Sun Visor RH Titanium New OEM GM 2011-17 Buick Regal | eBay
They're all the same whether they are envision or Regal. In fact the only difference in those from ours are that they are extendable. They look identical otherwise.Was it a direct fit and easy installation? Previously, someone else who installed the visors from an Envision had some trouble.
I also had a friend in China look up a ~2016 Regal visor and the seller claim it won't fit our newer Regals... The price in China was ~$30 for both sides.

I had my AV guy install them. He charged me $65 and I think he regretted quoting me upfront. It took them almost an hour and they do trim work every day. Said he had to pull back the headliner and other have said that you have to remove the A pillar trim.
Well, I didn't mean to do that. It was TOTALLY worth it. I would have paid more.Ok, you've convinced me not to do it. 🙂
I haven't installed mine, but as stated, they are the same size.Was it a direct fit and easy installation? Previously, someone else who installed the visors from an Envision had some trouble.

Nice. You should paint it shell.I like the idea of the extendable visor but went with easy and free. 😛
