Default Sun Visor "safety" warning stickers

I made a half hearted forum search to make sure this issue hasn't been beaten to death so if it is redundant, my apologies... Short of reskinning them or going with some of the aftermarket overlays I've stumbled upon has anyone come up with a way to remove those idiotic warning stickers from new car sun visors...?
Aside from the fact they are ugly I just don't like the federal safety zealots mandating silly crap like that on my car... I'd love to get them off my new 2000 and my IS350... I've got a company car and have sat in traffic for hours picking at those suckers thinking they would at some point peel off but it ain't going to happen. Anyone know of a source for replacement visors without the exploding enama bag warning on them... Thanks...

You could take them to an upholstery shop and have them recovered.. wouldn't be cheap though.

Rick's makes leather covers. I have brushed aluminum stickers on mine. Every few years someone comes on here and makes a new batch. They sell like hotcakes and then are gone again for a while. You are "in between" batches I think.

Fyi, the aluminum plates can be gotten from a trophy shop - get the size and go have one cut with any material you like - you can even have text added to them.

Since the cost for a one-off is high, this is why people sell them in batches - they buy the minimum needed - like 50 - and then sell the remaining plates here.
