Possible to retro-fit a newer model side sun visor?

Ok so I have an earlier model that does not have the nice driver's side window sun visor. The lady has it on her vehicle and it is pretty nice. Every single drive home from work I have the sun blasting in my face through the driver window for 30 minutes. I was wondering if it was possible to retro-fit this side window visor, has anyone done it? Can it be done if no one has achieved this just yet?

Have you tried a search on this site? I remember seeing a write-up on how someone managed to do this on his MINI. It was kind of involved, as it required the removal of the headliner to install the brackets needed to mount the '05-'06 side visor on the older models.

edit: I found it: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...hed-kinda.html
