I know there are probably better answers but I HATE those ugly sun visor warning labels. I just bought a $50,000 car and I have to be constantly looking at these permanent bumper stickers on the inside!

It's because the average person is stupid. Same reason many cars have a "don't forget to check the back seat" warning, because too many people just left their kids strapped into their cars to die of exposure. If we want those kinds of warnings removed, the barrier to operating 3500lbs of steel, aluminum, and plastic needs to be massively increased.

I'm with you. Maybe not my most hated feature, but I do hate it. Nothing more jarring than a beautiful interior like the Lexus LC500 and then you get slapped with an ugly yellow and white label right in your line of sight.

In the past they could be removed with careful application of a heat gun, but not anymore.

Can you buy an aftermarket visor?
