I'd say it's like those tags on mattresses and the sticker tags on electric cords; it' might be illegal for your Nissan or your dealer to remove or cover them up, but once you, the consumer buy the car from them, it's yours to do anything you want to. It's not illegal to cover them up, well at least not here in Ohio. I can't speak for other countries or states.

Heck, I'm not even sure car makers are by law made to put these warning stickers on the visors. It could just be a "cover their arse" sort of thing for law suits. Like the "caution hot" thing on coffee etc. Have you read your 370Z manual? I don't think there is a single page in that thing that does't have a big CAUTION note on it. Quite ridiculous really.

Either way I'm certainly not going to be worrying about it. First of all, who in the world would ever say anything about something so trivial, and secondly, who cares? What are they gonna do, arrest you?

I've thought about just going to my local decal shop and having some printed. Maybe just black with the 'Z' on it in silver (they'll print anything - they don't care about copyrights). Just don't want it to look hokey. I know a lot of high production cars you can order sticker covers on e-bay for and I've also seen some leather slip covers.

Visor stickers in my last 3 cars: 2002 Mercedes: sticker,peeled right off. 2006 Ridgeline: heat transfer, peeled off but left a shadow. 2012 370Z: Heat transfer, ain't comin' off. I think the next step is a molded in placard.

Maybe everyone involved in an accident can sue the car companies claiming that the visor sticker distracted them & we'll get rid of the damn things!

I am certainly not one of those for advocating frivolous law suits (in fact I'm totally against them), but your post is very funny.

They are definitely distracting.

LOL - here in Oklahoma you can get arrested for the darnest things. I'm guessing that covering the ugly visor warning signs is not one of them.
