Default Sunvisor warning sticker replacement

Looking for some ideas of what to do, replace, or cover the warning sticker that is on the c6 sunvisors.....you know the one, the one that says babys should be in a carseat in the rear of the car, never in the front seat. What have you done to customize this?

We bought the plain black fabric covers at Mid America.

I looked at the ones with emblems, but that didn't look right to me because if you put it on the visor so it looks right when you're in the car, then it's backwards when you put the visor down.

Use a hair dryer and peel them off.

If there is any remaining adhesive residue, scrub it off with a stiff toothbrush using 'Goof Off' or similar product.

You can then just leave it like that or add a new sticker.

Very easy DIY.

Stick-on covers like Don-Vette used are probably best.
I bought a set and used 3M Adhesive Remover to clean the decals before applying the covers; it turns out the decals have tiny perforations that allowed the 3M to soak through and the decals pretty much fell off. I saved them for the next owner...

I used a hair dryer and brush and they look good.

Someone posted a photo of warning stickers they'd bought/had made that were funny...something along the lines of "Warning, riding in this car may induce hysterical laughter, terror, etc..." wish I could find a source for similar. Anyone know where?

For my '05, I bought a set of covers with the crossed flag on them. For my '09, I didn't do anything since the roof was fixed, and you couldn't really see them, and I peeled them off my '14.

I used a black marker and blacked it out. Look nice can't tell unless you are looking for it.
