Anyone managed to remove those ugly airbag warning stickers on the sun visors? I was wondering what technique you used.

Don't do it!!!!! Click on my cardomain site in my sig and you'll see why.

I read that page you linked to. It didn't seem like there was any reason given not to do it, other than the difficulty involved. Is there any other reason why I would want to keep the stickers?

Did you notice the after photo? Trust me, it looks way worse after you get it off than just leaving it on. I'm going to replace my visor. The sticker is more like a vinyl one on a t-shirt than it is an actual sticker. My advice is to not mess with it. Chemicals will ruin the visor, steam will ruin the visor and friction to remove the sticker will ruin the visor. The visor isn't cloth, its plastic and I don't know of any chemicals (I tried denatured alcohol since it is the least caustic) that won't hurt this visor by streaking the vinyl sticker's colors, which is why I went with steam. I too dislike the stickers, but short of having an OEM without them, I seriously wouldn't do this mod.

Some people on other forums have reported good results with laquer thinner - though on different cars. But thanks for the warning. Maybe it isn't worth the trouble.

Just place some cool sticker over it, wax it first tho.
So when you sell it or trade it in...it can easily be removed.

it looks like a PITA to remove, good luck

Well, if you'd like to try the thinner, go for it with the caveat of my warning. I was the only person who said they would try it at the time and I was EXTRA careful too. Took me an hour and a half just to steam off the sticker and that was after trying the denatured alcohol. Honestly, I took the stickers out of my dad's Porsche and my wife's Civic... no problems and I figured this would be the same too. I was obviously disappointed. Just waiting to have the extra $$ to get a replacement visor.

I saw moda's car after he did it, trust him, it looked bad... Might be easier to hit up and upolstry shop and see what they would charge to cover them.

I think you must have me mixed up with another poster. Nothing has happened to my TSX.
