Lightbulb Visor-color-matching sticker

I thought the same thing about other cars I've been in, where the stickers are damn ugly. If the IS stickers bug me, I will detatch the visor and take it into my local office supply store, have them run a color copy of the visor on adhesive-backed paper, and cut out a matching sticker to cover up the warning.

Leave it ..... every car in the US has one, so who notices or cares. It's essentially invisible. I doubt you can actually remove it without messing up the suede finish. Proceed at your own risk.

You will ruin the look of the visor by heating it up. The fabric will start to clump and sag, maybe even rip like a headliner. The fabric is about the same delicate fiber used in the headliner. You will be mad you even tried to remove it and thus, have to buy a new one frm the dealer with the same sticker.

I'm not sure if the sticker adhesive is any different on the newer models, but on my SC it seems to be coming off all by itself. One of the corners is coming off a bit and there doesn't seem to be any damage to the fabric, so if it is the same it should be ok.

I took one off on my old 98 Acura Integra GSR and it took forever. It came off in very small pieces and the fabric looked a bit wrinkled underneath. So in retrospect, I wouldn't bother, especially on a Lexus.
