peel them off and use rubbing alcohol to remove the left over adhesive.

Yep - slowly peel away, using your finger to keep the fabric pushed down.

Also, consider bringing a hairdryer into your car to help heat up the adhesive.

yah, just slowly peel them off. it takes a lot of work to get the left over adhesive goo off. i used rubbing alcohol, but you could try using "goo gone" or something, maybe it mite work better. good luck!

I'd say do it. I think there might be a couple of types of warning labels. MIne were definitely silk screened on, they could NOT be peeled off. There is another benefit to black leather, or any black fabric. It works a LOT better to cut the glare. I used to do a lot of driving west in the late afternoon. My eyes are very sensitive to glare and after my visors were wrapped, there was a significant difference.

Think of a lens shade on a camera. It is always matte black, never light grey with an orange sticker! The only problem with a typical wrap is losing the makeup mirror. I suppose you could work around that, but even my GF never uses that mirror and I sure don't.

If you'd like to see how it is done and a comparason photo as well, I posted some how to images at:
