Numbers 1-5:
Has anyone successfully removed the airbag warnings from the mouse fur?
Number 6:
What is the purpose of the slot on the visor?

the slot is for parking tickets / stubs (when you park in a garage)

Careful with removing the airbag warning labels. They're NOT like the labels on bed mattresses. They are required to be there by federal law (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and Regulations). What's even funnier is some car manufacturers had non-voluntary recalls in the past on vehicles because the size of the airbag warning labels were too small and had to be replaced with larger ones. (Yes, there's a federal law which states what the minimum size of the airbag warning labels have to be on the visors).

However, it's your car.

Cheers,
Kermee

Parking tickets? Don't you mean speeding?

LOTS of Goo-Goon took them off on my Supra, but with the targa top they had vinyl ones...I dont know what the result would be, you could heat them up as i think a lot of them are heat-shrank onto the visors....im obviously not in my car right now and dont recall what they look like on the IS.

As for the slot, also in some states...or maybe just NJ toll tickets are still given out if you dont have electronic tag, i.e. ezpass. sunpass to some and etc

then you're either the luckiest 16 year old to have a 2IS, or have lived a pretty bland life so far!

I thought the slots were also a part of the sound absorbing sun visor design. That's my guess. LOL. I remember seeing that on the website.
