Some have been asking me about these so I will post a couple of photos even thought Grafxwerks is tweaking them slightly. These are prototypes make from dimensions i supplied. The "released version will be very slightly bigger and the corners will have smaller radii.

I didn't stick these down real hard because I will replace it with the "new, improved" units when Ryan gets them ready.


Visor flipped to the side to get a photo:

A grey/red version instead of the grey.grey version i used.

Thanks for that other link. If they could do orange stickers with navy blue text, or vice versa, Id be in.

Gosh! Kinda wish I hadn't used black spray paint now. :p

Not that it matters........We already have $19,000 in repairs and he only got back to the radiator. :(

Very nice, but I'd put it on upside down, so it can be read when the visor is down.

I just got the revised overlays for the visor airbag warnings and they are perfect. Ryan did away with the border, increased the size slightly and made the corners tighter. I think the fit and look are perfect. None of the original label shows. I will try to get a photo up soon.

Ray you'll have to be sitting on the hood to read it with the visor down, lol

I put them on Ray's way. Not that it matters much.

I assume the stock ones just can't be easily removed?

If you are referring to the airbag warning overlays - the background is always black. The logo will be in red text.

Slightly off subject but does anyones airbag decals on the visor have a wrinkle to it? my gto had them real bad, the G8 has it slightly im hoping this overlay would cover that up.

Yes, they can actually. I removed one on a spare visor that I have. Just used a hair dryer and I was able to peel it right off.

Interesting, how did you deal with any gummy mess left behind?

I used some enamel reducer on a lint free rag and kept lightly rubbing any left over glue.

Really didn't have any sticky gummy mess, however you could see the area which the sticker had been located b/c it was just a slightly different shade. Still, it looks better than the sticker.
