My solution to:
Those ugly airbag warning labels. I tried those paper label covers you can buy on ebay but for my ride they are just to cheap looking.
So I took it to the next level and had my guy at American Car craft (A forum vendor) cut me 2 pieces of stainless 3 1/2" by 6", he then printed me a Z06 logo. I took them to my body shop where they painted them VR. I carefully put the logo's exactly centered on the plates and stuck them over those ugly yellow warning labels. They perfectly match the rest of the interior.
I like them and I guess at the end of the day thats what counts.

What did you use to stick them on the visor?

On the back side of the plate there is very thin very aggresive 3M double stick tape. It sits flush with the visor and in high heat areas such as FL (me) it won't unstick and come down.
The beauty of it is you can get any logo you want on it.

Good idea and getting them painted to match was a nice touch. You were really lacking some red in there

Good idea. But I just used the wife's hair dryer and some goo gone to remove the stickers.

I was able to remove the stickers without to much trouble. Looks said they were never there.
Best part is now that nothing catches my eye in the area is all the same color.
Your solution for me would be just as undesirable as the GM stickers.
Your ride though so enjoy all the red going on....
Less is more.

A bit of red going on for sure, but nice creative solution that works for you.

Looks good. I did pretty much the same thing with the Federal Government warning labels on my mattress.

Kinda neat...good idea. For me, I didn't even know they were there. Too busy looking out the windshield and listening to the exhaust note to notice something on the visor.
