Anybody try and remove that sticker on the visor?

I was looking at my sun visor tonight and picked at that ugly sticker it a little bit. It's hard to tell if it comes off or it's permanent. Anybody

I would like to remove it for a cleaner look tho.

Its a pain in the A** to remove that sticker its harder to get rid of it than it should be. I believe it requires soaking it in water or thing.

I tried to remove it on my first 350, and that thing is dug in like an Alabama tick.

Oh, and as a response to the actual question: to say those things are a pain to remove is an understatement. Although, many guys have had luck with hot air guns and some goo gone. When I owned my vettes, guys would send them to a dude who would reupholster them in matching leather.

Thanks for the feeback guys! Since I'm too retarded to mount a front license plate I think I will avoid messing with it.

Here is a quote from another site:

I took mine off with a steam iron. It's easy. Steam the bejesus out of the stickers and pick up the corner and peel them off. Should come off in one piece. Then use 3M adhesive remover (spray) and soak the area real good. Scrub the adhesive with a brass or stainless detail brush (looks like a hellish tooth brush -auto supply item) The material is way stronger than you would think and the adhesive wipes off with a face cloth. This step may have to be repeated a couple of times.You just want to work the remover into the adhesive area and let it work. The spray evaporates quickly so load lots on . It took me about 1 hr. and the visors look great-just a very slight shadow where the stickers were.(not sticky at all) This was covered on Toyota nation or Tundra solutions website and lots of people have done it on all kinds of vehicles. Good luck! (P.S. don't smoke a fatboy while you do this -you'll blow yer eyebrows off cause of the evaporating spray!!!)
(PPS- take the visors off... way easier)

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Anybody have a picture of this sticker? I've never owned a Z so I have no clue. Thanks.
