Sun visor warning labels - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Am I the only one hating those? I think it spoils the black interior of the car.

I can confirm that they are NOT removable, so don't even try. I'm waiting for a new visor from Japan. DOH!!!

lol, hate them too.

Learn from my mistake and get a sticker made up to cover it.

Funny enough, the visor is cheaper than a Corolla's.

"Funny enough, the visor is cheaper than a Corolla's"

That's brilliant, hopefully things stay that way (espescially for the 100k service when they remove the engine to change the spark plugs!!)

My brother's S2000 services cost the same as a Civic's, so there is precedent!

Yeah, I really do hope so.

Some of the parts are very expensive though - ONE front High spec headlight=R9000 and a set of front brake pads=R1600.

The brake pads are the same as the WRX STi though so there should be better and cheaper aftermarket ones available from Powerbrake.

@sav - who are the Royals? What sport?

sav · 10-12-2012, 05:39 AM

Huh?

sav · 10-12-2012, 07:18 AM

No stickers! That's from the FR-S if I'm not mistaken which is surprising since the USA is usually hectic on safety and warning.

I removed the sticker from the passenger side, so I can confirm that they are removable.
The problem is that it takes a ton of time and you can still see the residue square a little bit.

Wow, how did you do it?

I've battled for about an hour to get 1/10th of the thing removed and then I couldn't get rid of the residue. I was planning on getting as much as possible removed and then sticking a new sticker on but gave up on that idea and ordered a new one.

personally I'd use a hair dryer to heat up the glue. That way you most of the glue is still on the sticker itself when you remove it.

LOL the stickers are on the other side - the side with out the vanity mirror

:happy0180:

somebody should make a flat black vinyl sticker with the 86 logo in red that is the exact size of the warning or just a bit bigger.

i'd buy it
