I did not do my visors, but the headliner and overhead council turned out good. I posted some pics if your interested.

They are one piece that folds in half. The two halves snap together. Remove the old material. Undo the snaps, pull the hold fown rod out. The two halves should open up. Glue new material to the visor. Let it set up then fold it back up. You can see mine in the pic.

Nice job on the headliner. On the visors: remove your old visor covers and turn them inside out. Rip the stitches out and use the old cover for a pattern to cut out the new material. Using the same seam allowance and stitch length sew up the new cover, turn it right side out and re-install. Your wife, girlfriend or mom may need to be enlisted for the sewing part if you are not familiar with a sewing machine.

It is easy. There is a tool called a seam ripper the costs a buck at Wal-Mart or the fabric store that will make the seam ripping part a breeze. The seamstress of the house will be sure to have one.
