Could just take them to an upholstery shop and have them covered in cloth, leather, or suede / alcantara... Would look more factory.

Default Plain?

I like the plain look also, but the black interior is more of a gray/black and I have not seen any decals that are close in color to make it stealth, have you/

I sent the eBay vendor a question about when a C7 logo would be available, he just replied that they are awaiting GM Licsensing.

So a proper C7 logo should be available soon.

They are available here, but pretty pricey. Probably due to licensing fees!?

Most of the labels/decals look nice but if you have the suede interior you should be able to use a hair dryer and remove the labels with no signs of glue left behind. I removed mine today from the suede visors and it took about 5 minutes and no glue left behind.

Maybe I am alone in this-but most of the above modifications just don't look like the are integrated into the look of the car and look like obvious add ons to me. The regular visor labels are on all cars and just look like they belong. Just my opinion and yes, with the visors up the regular decals probably look stupid. I think the best look to me would be nothing (provided the decals could come off without a mark)

A month ago, I would have agreed with you. All I wanted was for those hideous warning labels to be gone. I did not need or want anything to replace them. Getting them off was quick and easy: 5 minutes with a blow-dryer. If they'd come off clean, that would have been the end of it. They almost came off clean, but not quite. No globs of glue. Just a whitish discoloration left behind. Some forum memebers, with chemicals, time, and elbow grease, reported removing the discoloration. More power to them. I, however, did not have the patience, so I shopped around for something to cover the discoloration. Some forum members opted for the closest possible fabric match. Since finding the perfect match is impossible, and there would always be an edge, a close match would still look like a patch. So I went for something completely different: A shiny raised vinyl surface which stands out from the fabric. The authentic Corvette logo and lettering create a classy authentic look which I enjoy seeing. That's my opinion, anyway. To each his own.

I will have to check my DiNoc scraps to see if I have enough on hand. That looks like a good way to go.

I had an upholstery guy order the stock fabric and he is recovering mine so it matches the interior but has no labels

I have the 3LT with suede and took the labels off as soon as I brought her home. Just took a corner and peeled them off......no problem. 30 seconds for both sides.

Am I reading the site right. The cost for the stick-ons is $48 plus shipping and that is not for the carbon fiber look?

Peel them off is all you have to do, Both of mine are gone with no issue, All came off in one piece.

BTW the distributor said you can put these on your visor even if you already removed the factory warning label. I removed the labels and still have some ghosting of the old ones.

I was not sure at first if this was the way to go but now that I am done I am glad I did it and not the stick on label route. First pic shows the glue that remained and final result. For best results you need GooGone or similar and combine with heat from a hair dryer.
