Default Vinyl over airbag warning

Just thought I would share my latest minor mod. Saw someone else had done this and I liked the idea.

I sourced out the grey vinyl locally then ordered the Lexus decals from this ebay seller (who I highly recommend).

I could have done a better job if I spent more time measuring and cutting and not doing the work at night. Also, a matte vinyl would surely look better.

Before:







Black Decal





Grey Decal

not bad. I had warning stickers for JL Audio with a pic of a woofer and equipped with subwoofers.
the other was a warning "No Fat Chicks" LOL

Looks good. I have been wanting to do something like that.
How did you attach the grey vinyl to the visor? Was it sold with adhesive backing or did you use some type of glue?

Adhesive. Got a sheet from a guy for $10. Cut it to fit, peeled the back and stuck it on. Then applied the Lexus decal.

Original plan was to go with black lettering, but ended up getting grey by accident. Now that I changed one side to black... I think I kinda like the grey better.
