Like I said, you can still see the rectangle where the sticker from hell was placed; however you can't notice it in the dark unless your trying to

It took a lot of mind numbing dedication to get this done. I was my carrying my visor around for about 2-3 days trying to get it all off. I used goo gone which you can find at most automotive stores (FYI: The clerk at autozone said he never heard of it, but I found it there). Then I found an old towel and the epic battle began!

Also, I use armor all on it to keep it darker. This makes it much less noticeable!

Another FYI before you try... (I wasn't trying to do that)
Switching the visors around to show the other side doesn't work at all

Thanks, I appreciate all the advice because I was ready to give up on this visor.

That slight residue is much less noticeable than the ugly label, so job well done.

Oh, sorry I didn't even notice that. It's just a pic I've found on the net, it is probably some sports team because I doubt anybody would be cheering the British royals.

it's funny, i thought i was the only one bothered by these warning labels. i tried peeling it off in the dark without knowing that it was really pressed on there and not a sticker. next day i look up with the corner of the sign being all chipped.

i plasti dip'd the labels last night. here's how they turned out.

these are two angles of the passenger side visor. it has a bit of a gloss/shine to it even though plasti dip is more of a satin finish. however, i rather have these black boxes than that warning label any day. oh, and it only took about 2 layers if i remember correctly.

oh and question: what is the purpose of the strap on the driver's side visor?
