The label in question is called the AC refrigerant caution label and it is GM part # 10323111 on a 2005. It is available from any GM parts counter and it should run you between $16.00 and $20.00

Easy way to spot a car with front end damage: No stickers under hood/on radiator cover, etc.
Just something to think about.
Some of these stickers are about $40. Create a new one on the pc and laminate it.

Replace my faded sticker with this:

Fits very nicely and looks like it should be there.

Same here on a 13,750 mile 07 Z06. Wonder why GM couldn't have designed a better decal for that enviroment? 
Oh well that's the GM we all know and love. I'm replacing mine with the GM data plate.

I was able remove my sticker today off my 2006 by heating it with a blow dryer and peeling it off slowly. It came of pretty easily. There was quite a bit of glue residue left over which I removed by wiping off using an old t-shirt and DW40. Looks great. If someone does this the engine needs to be cold and I'd suggest using a glove for the hand your wiping the glue with. Mine slipped off the edge of the t-sirt and I got burned by the hot glue. Left a nice blister.
Also, I'm sure there may be something better to use than DW40 but I don't know what. Anyone have any suggestions?
I did notice that there are some ridges/rises/lines where two sides of the sticker used to be. I guess it gave GM a good line on where to place the stickers. This took me 10 minutes and was one of the most simple mods for better appearance that I've done.
