Default Cheapest Mod I've Made Yet.....

Been eyeballing those ugly yellow and white airbag warning labels on both sunvisors. While at a stop light I started to pick at the corner of the driver's label. Soon had enough of it peeled back to get a finger grip on it.

Yep, best and cheapest mod I've made yet. Been staring at these tags too long and thinking I'd screw up my visor if I tried to take them off. WRONG. Pulled off easily, did absolutely no damage to the visor and left no residue of what appears to be just a sticky stuff like you'd find on a lable on some new clothing.

Nice to have all black visors without all that distracting offical information. I mean hell, who's going to put their kid in a child seat facing backwards in a Vette or heed the waring they need to ride in the "back seat". I mean if they can find the back seat they're welcome to ride in it.

I think I did that mod on my first day If you read it, it actually talks about your back seat... ?!? I know for sure my Corvette didn't come with a back seat. Mine pealed right off too.

Ya' made me go dig through the trash on this one. It actually says:

"The BACKSEAT is the SAFEST place for children".

Know what, I agree and that's probably why I've always only had 2 seaters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just covered mine with some really nice C5 Decals made specifically to cover those ugly yellow ones. You can get them on EB. Most Vert owners will notice them the most because of how the visor sits with the top down....

My labels don't peel off; either do my wife's. It's like the labels are silk screened to the visor material; there is nothing to peel or pick at. No biggie...since I rarely use the sun visors, I don't see the stickers. Knowing that I have the stickers makes me safer (haha).
