Covering The Ugly Airbag Warning Viser Placards???

Bonzo

Well, I should definitely have material left over, but I'm not looking at trying to make money here. Perhaps I could CAD cut some for people who are interested on a first ask basis, until I run out of material that is. Say $5 for S&H. But we'll see. I have to get mine done first and see how it looks.

For others I think they could just buy some small pcs of 3M CF Di-noc off the internet (I quickly found 12 x 12 for like $10 and 12 x 24 for like $17 on Amazon), use some paper test cuts to come up with the exact size they want, lay that size out on the back of the CF with a ruler, then cut it using sharp scissors or even a razor blade with a straight edge. It won't need to be "perfect perfect" and still look good. At least it will look 95% better than the sticker there now.

I'm thinking that, since our warning sticker is heat pressed, and has an "indent" lip, that going about 3/16" to 1/4" larger all around (3/8" to 1/2" total size) with the CF will have the best long term results. This way the adhesive on the CF has room to grab the fabric material itself. Once it's on I doubt anyone will notice it's larger than before. The warning sticker is currently about 3-5/8" x 5", so a CF label of around 4" x 5-3/8" or 4-1/8" x 5-1/2" would probably be best. We'll see.

Pixeldecals can make stickers to cover these hideous things.

so last weekend during my drive i looked at this thing you guys are talking about on the visors and it didnt really bother me...

Bonzo

Just messin' with yea.

Well, as just like everything else it seems, people have different reactions to things. In my Murano that has a light tan interior, it's never bothered me. In the black / dark gray interior Z, it feels like a light is on up there shining on me.

I finally got my CF Vinyl on them the other day and it looks so much better. Night and day better. Before, every time I got in the car I noticed it. For the last 3 days I've had to think to look at it to see how the CF looks, because it blends in so much better. A month from now if I never even notice it, then I'll know it's right. Is it the 100% perfect fix? No. But for how easy it was it sure makes a big difference. Even my wife commented on how much cleaner and nicer it looks.

I'll take some pics when I get a second.

I just went to an interior shop yesterday and looked into having the visors re-wrapped. I'm trying to decide on doing them in the black alcantera or in the headliner material. What do you all think??

Where is a good place to buy the 3m Di Noc?? I'm only looking for about 2 feet or so.

I just put some CF on mine today and now it looks much better. They weren't really a distraction until you started this thread, and then I couldn't stand them.
Thanks Bonzo!

I finally got a chance to try and take some pics. I took them in the garage so they are not the best. Flash makes it look totally crazy, and no flash is hard to see. This is the only one that even "sort of" came out right. I need to take some outside in the sun so you can see how they look. The CF is not perfect, but it's 10 times better than the stock stickers. When I wear sunglasses I can hardly even see it even when looking right at it. Much better.

So I was showing this to my friend last month and he was like, THAT is freakin' awesome!!! He has a new Challenger which is his baby. He proceeds to tell me that he REFUSES to even use his visors because when he flips them down, those ugly stickers show out the window like a sore thumb, and there is no way he wants other people to see that!!! Classic. He's more worried about it looking ugly to complete strangers than himself in the car. Too funny.

So he took pictures from the outside of my car with them flipped down to show his son. The son must have loved them because now he wants me to make him a set.

I need to take some pics from the outside and post them here. I'll do that when I get a chance. Although considering it's been many months since I've even been on this forum, don't hold your breath waiting for me.

Cheers ---- Bonzo
