I believe in Darwinism. If we keep warning people about common sense safety issues, we are just polluting the gene pool.

What government control are you talking about? Did you see anything anywhere saying it was against the law to remove them? Do you remove mattress tags, or is that also government control?

Did anybody actually read the labels? Before I covered mine I got a good laugh reading the generic warnings.

As I recall there was something about airbags being dangerous for small children (hmm, the Vette has a sensor for the passenger seat that disables the passenger airbag if the child sitting there is below a certain weight).

The other crazy statement was something about children always being safer in the back seat. OK...I'll put small ones in the hatch area and when the police stop me, I will tell them I am following GMs suggestion. Why put a suggestion about rear seats in a two-seater?!?

Oh well, now they are simple black stickers with C6 flags...much more classy.

The most simple answer.

Also don't forget the silly lighted indicator on the bottom of the rear-view mirror. I've got a sticker covering that too.

Do you find the Government mandated warning stickers appealing or could you envision some other 'look' to the visors that might be nicer?

...love those stickers - I've still got every mattress and pillow sticker known to man! I wish the "man" would come up with more stickers - like how about the DBS sticker...or the sh*#%y fob sticker. Where's the man when you need him anyway

when I'm shifting gears, listening to the sounds, concentrating on enjoying the scenery, but mostly the car----my mind kinda drifts upward toward the stickers. and I re-read them just to remind myself that the government is out to help me.

huh? no I don't. but I really don't notice them at all. now I have to go to the garage, remove the cover and look....
