I believe its required by law (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) to put the warning stickers on, whether we read them or not.....

I know, I wasn't saying they should be removed, I'm saying they are unnecessary and ineffective, like the signs sowed into the base of your seatbelts ..... literally no one reads them (and the visor signs are butt ugly which is why some cover them up).

Those warning stickers never really bothered me, but I can see how some owners just do not like them. A number of options are available for covering them up.

It's okay to mod your car to suit yourself; no need to explain or justify... just do it!

Yes, I'm sure your $3 stick-on craft paper solution looks a lot better. Especially after it's been on there a while.
If all anyone has to worry about is these stickers, then they live a charmed life.

Plain covers sold by Zip or the ones from Amazon?

I bought covers sold by a vette accessory supplier that slips my mind in 2007 when I bought my C6.
They looked good and worked well initially. As time passed they started showing their age like us and our cars do.
Mainly I think the glue started to soak thru or somehow affected the color/appearance of the cover.

Obviously the quality of the material and glue and what they were designed for makes a difference.
I would hesitate to use something from say hobby lobby because of this but who knows maybe it's better than that which has the Corvette tax!
Maybe someone on here can recommend one they have used for several years etc.

I have the black interior with the stealth option and if I wanted some yellow staring me in the face I would have got yellow seat belts!
Those warning stickers are the ugliest part of the C8 IMO.
