Marty,

A more aesthetic approach is this:

On the original visor (this only applies to PRE-'94 Miatas) find the
plastic pins that form the hinge for the two pieces.  Using a pair of
pliers, gently pull the pins out of the holes in the sides of the visor
pieces.  The lower folding portion of the visor is then removed, leaving
you with a single flap that folds up out of the way and gives you the same
vertical visibility as NO visor.

The advantage is, of course, no ugly holes and and you retain the
functionality of at least having SOME visor when you might need it.  (Not
to mention leaving the little vanity mirror in place on the passenger
side.)

Try it, you'll like it!
