It's a sticker. Wasn't too hard to install though they say the sticker is the exact same size as the airbag warning sticker. They should have just made it a little larger so it wasn't as tedious to make sure it all lined up but I managed to get it pretty close myself.

I just heated them up with a hair dryer and then peeled them off.
That was on a 3LT with suede. The stickers left no trace of being there.
I don't know if that would be the case with the "pleather" visors.

You got me started on a mission. I spent about an hour researching options for stickers to cover the factory ones. I was out in the garage looking for the roll of carbon fiber decal I have for about 20 minutes. Found it, and held it up to the visor to see how it'd look, then decided to try pulling off the warning labels.
It took about 2 minutes per side to pull off the factory labels. My car is about 3 weeks old, and has the 3LT sueded visors. The stickers took just a little of the "suede" material with them, but honestly one can't tell they were ever there now. For those of us with the 3LT interior, this might be useful information.
I didn't heat mine up. Wasn't necessary on my car.

Plus I like a couple more reminders that my car is a Z51.

The Z51 stickers definitely look better than those hideous yellow ones (imo)
I too have the same fear of muffin up my visors trying to remove the factory label.

There's really no downside...you might be out the cost of a fast food combo meal if it doesn't work out.

That was my fear also. I did the same, but mine are just black for my non Z51. Does the job.

I went with Streamline design and used the custom GM graphics.
Went Black with Silver writing. STINGRAY.
There was a very tiny bit they did not cover on one edge, used a black marker and even my wife cannot tell.

I installed some very cheap-looking stick-on covers from a forum vendor, then removed them in disgust. To my surprise the stock label peeled off with the covers, so without the covers the labels should be easily removable with only some moderate heat applied. Afterward I used some Goo-Gone and wiped off the small amount of glue remaining. Mine's a 3LT, but I understand the 1LT/2LT material may not be so easy.
