I checked an old image of my previous C6 coupe and it seems that in the C6 the visors would not raise as high as my C7 vert.
I cannot answer for the C7 coupe but it may have something to do with the removable top, also, the visor on my C7 vert seems much smaller then my C6 coupe.

Supposedly 91% isopropyl alcohol and patience does good job.

This is what I went with. Flat black, with your your interior color lettering. Decal Dave @ $19.95 for the pair. Fits right over the factory seatbelt warning label on the C7. I have the Kalahari interior so went with color choice "cashmere".

For those of you who have "suede" upper trim, they peel off without any trace.

My Driver's side came off in about 45 minutes, in tiny pieces, but my passenger side came off in less than ten, in three long strips. I took a dry washcloth and roughed up the entire visor, and now you can't even tell they were there.

I so want to try to pull them off, but afraid it'll look like crap. Yours looks great but not sure I'll be so lucky! If it does look like crap, too late as can't apply these mod overlays on the suede.

I was so afraid to do it, I've procrastinated since the day I bought the car (March), so I definitely understand!

I finally screwed up enough courage on Friday morning to do it. I figured the worst that would happen would be that I didn't like the result, and I would buy a set of stickers and cover the ugliness. I don't understand why you think they wouldn't work on the suede.

Are you entirely sure that's correct?

If you never drive with top down or off, that's true. I covered them up on my '05 vert, and took them off on this vert, but they weren't ever a problem on my Z06.

I think the plain looks the best. Too many logos. Nice stealth look is best for me.

I take the top off as much as possible but honestly, I really don't notice.
