Replacing visors (get rid of airbag label)

I HATE that stupid airbag warning label on the visors. It doesn't seem possible to remove, especially with the fabric visors vs leather. I tried searching for new visors (sans warning, of course), but couldn't really find anything.

Does anyone know of any replacement visors that fit the 2014? If not, has anyone just recovered the visors? That seems to be the next best way to do it...just not sure how the trim pieces on the visor are attached.

I covered mine with some extra film that I got with my interior trim kit. Dark vinyl trim works very well. Mine looks like black brushed aluminum.

It certainly looks better than the big yellow warning label.

I used a friends hair dryer to heat the labels and slowly peel them off, and used Goo Off adhesive remover to clean off the remaining glue.

+2 on the hair dryer & I was able to remove the adhesive as well.
Not sure what is available now, but here is what I replaced the airbag labels with on my '06 GT.

Is the adhesive still removable from fabric visors? I'm sure it's relatively easy with leather...not so sure with the fabric.

FWIW I removed both labels. There's still just a bit of adhesive left on the driver's side that I need to deal with, and there is a very faint color difference between where the sticker was and the untouched fabric...but it looks SOOO much better.

I used an iron to heat it up (with a rag as a buffer) and just peeled off the label. Then I used goo gone to remove the adhesive, heating it up from time to time to aid in removal. Then cleaned everything with alcohol.

It doesn't show up well in the pic, but there is still a faint outline of where the sticker used to be. Can't seem to get rid of that, oh well. It's not terribly noticeable in person, either.

Wow that looks so much better!! I was thinking about doing this, but I'm probably going to wrap the pillars and headliner in Alcantara anyways, so I'd just do the visors at the same time. But good job!

And 8,000th post!

Looks pretty good! I do see where the sticker use to be but it's really faint.
