leather sun visor

Are the optional leather visors covered with that same ugly yellow warning label?

If it's the law, they would have to be, right?

Talking

I have never tried this but shouldn't those labels be removable with say, goo gone or the like?

I think that they are stamped on there. That's why people sell decals to cover them up.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

There are covers available that go over the labels. I can't remember what vendors stock them, but I have seen them on eBay. They stick on the visor over the ugly label.

Those airbag covers are nothing but pebble finish vinyl cut out to fit the space that can be purchased at most crafts store for a buck or two... call around to see if your local craft stores have some. It might not be a bad idea to just drop by an auto upholstry shop, ask them to look at the plastic and see if they have any vinyl to match it and buy it as a scrap for a couple of bucks—and they'll probably just give it to you for free.

Some heat resistant spray-based glue will affix them no problem.

These certainly are not worth the $15 plus s/h charged on Ebay!

those yellow lable can be taken off... take the 4 sides with tape so u dont get goo gon on the leather...

then hair dryer. for about 10 min .. apply goo gon... let it sit for 10 min .. then u should slowly be able to peel the edges off... then slowly the whole thing will come off as a piece of thin rubberish film.....
