My first (and only mod)
....and one you should consider strongly, too. I hate this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n/c25f76d8.jpg These ugly things are painted on, not stickers, so they will most definitely not peel off. So I used some commonly available sticky-back sheets of felt available at any craft store (this is "Presto Felt" brand), http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n/3056aba7.jpg Used a metal ruler and a sharp knife to cut 10cm x 12cm rectangles, and round off the corners with a scissors. And now I have this! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n/b594b879.jpg Now my modding career is essentially over... Cheers, Dave |
Why did you not just remove the sticker? :)

A lot of the cars now have them embossed into the material, it's not actually a sticker. |
You should have done the whole side of the sun visor. The little rectange looks a wee bit tacky for my taste.

Tough crowd, I guess!
Rest assured, these look much, much, less noticeable in person than these pics make them appear. Black on black, you'd probably never notice them if not looking directly for them. And hey -- even if they did stick out: IMO, they're certainly still better than those garish yellow warning labels! |
Never cared for those warning sticker... BUT interesting mod.
Thanks for sharing :thumbsup: |
Why is this the only mod to the car? Must be SOMETHING else that is tempting right?
|
WOW... some people do have OCD
|
Wouldn't a black sharpie be easier?

Just remove the visor. Weight reduction! :D
|
maybe duplicolor flat or gloss black interior paint might work better??? you may have to "skuff" the bottom side a bit but it might look "cleaner" than a patch?
this is just a suggestion, not something i've done before on my car cause i dont mind the warning label, but i've seen in done on another car... |

That warning label used to be on the inside so it's funny to see it on the outside now. The felt patch looks even worse IMHO. |
Hate to say it but it looks better before. The yellow goes well with the black :thumbup:
|
Good mod.
I hate those warning prints. The bad thing is when the car is older the print will dry out and start flaking off. It does it on my Mazda. Everytime I look around there is little flakes of yellow in my car. Blah. |
What you have done is illegal, similar to removing the tag from your mattress. I am turning you in.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n/c25f76d8.jpg Maybe you should have considered doing this instead... Just saying. LMAO! http://www.ft86club.com/forums/pictu...&pictureid=796 Or this one... http://www.ft86club.com/forums/pictu...&pictureid=795 :thumbsup: |
Never realized it was that serious lol...

Those are there for you and your passengers safety. You are putting lives in danger

When will this kit be mass produced for the rest of us?
Any pricing yet? :lol: I'd pay some serious cash Quote:
|
Are they silk screened? Paper towel soaked with brake cleaner, wait a minute or two, rub and wipe them off.
Buncha frickin' newbs around here. Jeez. |

never noticed it before lol
|
I am planning on wrapping the entire visor with black matte finish vinyl wrap. It won't flake off, won't create glare, and it will look OEM. If I ever sell the car, the wrap can be removed, not that the new owner would want to.
|
I have never heard one single complaint about these. "Bro, aren't you gonna remove the airbag warnings? Lol. They're pretty corny..." Never.
|
Some people takes the badges of their car for a cleaner look. Some put tape over (warning) lights so they will not see them. Some put chrome rings and stuff on the dashboard/instruments. Some paint spray stuff under the bonnet. Many pay thousands on mods that will only please the eye.
Detailers use hundreds on car care products, some use time to clean every inch of their car.. People do lots of stuff to make their car nicer and individualize it. Here we see one simple nice low cost mod. Thanks for sharing you mod, avusblue! Dont bother with the haters.. |
I would have just left it the way it was...what if someday someone tries to peel it off and it's all yuck and nasty underneath? I understand it's just a sticky felt sheet but ya never know what the temperature can do to it. Oh well...
