You don't need to take the visors out to remove the stickers. Just take a hair dryer and heat them up real good and they will peel right off.

Even though you can probably get them off without the hair dryer, use it (on LOW HEAT) anyway - it will leave behind less residue.
Several forum sponsors have emblems you can buy to put over either the stickers or the residue.
If you do have residue, try Goo Gone, or some such product.

However, keep in mind that there are lighted visor vanity mirrors on the back side of those sun visors, so that will complicate the removal. Also, I should have mentioned that I did pull off the warning labels on both of my C6s without using any heat at all. But there was residue.
Maybe someone who has removed the sun visors will chime in. You might also check the C6 FAQ to see if anyone already has.
Sorry, we all thought we were being helpful. Hope someone who has done this responds.

There is a great probibility that you will break the bezels that are around the base of the visor mount. They are not easy to remove. If there is any way possible to do what you are trying to do with the visors in car, I suggest you do that. I hope that this helps some.

I kind of like the 'covering them with leather' plan, but I beat the problem tonight.
Two Christmas' ago, my mom gave me one of these gel pads that you can put in the fridge or microwave to use as a cool or hot pad - you know what I'm talking about here? Anyway, I have yet to use the thing, so I dug it out, put it in the microwave until it got so hot I could barely touch it. Took a little towel to insulate myself and ran down to the vette. Held the gel pad on the stickers until I figured the glue was hot... and then just peeled of the stickers.
Success!

"No you want high heat. The hotter you get the stickers the better."
These labels are heat-pressed on like T-shirt graphics with a hot glue. High heat seems to be the way to remove. Solvents won't disolve the glue as it is a type of thermoplastic adhesive "hot glue", not solvent based. I did one side with a moderate heat with a blow drier (pretty warm to the touch) and it left a strip of residue. Did the other side when it was too hot to touch for long and it pealed off very easy and clean. Removed the residue on the other side with the blow drier and a brass suede brush. Perfect, like never there!
