Covering The Ugly Airbag Warning Viser Placards???

I just saw the Dinoc pics, btw. Looks like that's a nice solution.

My nephew who wraps cars has a 12 x 48 piece sitting in his shop for me. I'm going to try and swing by to get it this weekend. Then next week hopefully I'll be able to CAD cut some, test fit, and see how they look. I'll be sure to post pics.

Well, I should definitely have material left over, but I'm not looking at trying to make money here. Perhaps I could CAD cut some for people who are interested on a first ask basis, until I run out of material that is. Say $5 for S&H. But we'll see. I have to get mine done first and see how it looks.

For others I think they could just buy some small pcs of 3M CF Di-noc off the internet (I quickly found 12 x 12 for like $10 and 12 x 24 for like $17 on Amazon), use some paper test cuts to come up with the exact size they want, lay that size out on the back of the CF with a ruler, then cut it using sharp scissors or even a razor blade with a straight edge. It won't need to be "perfect perfect" and still look good. At least it will look 95% better than the sticker there now.

I'm thinking that, since our warning sticker is heat pressed, and has an "indent" lip, that going about 3/16" to 1/4" larger all around (3/8" to 1/2" total size) with the CF will have the best long term results. This way the adhesive on the CF has room to grab the fabric material itself. Once it's on I doubt anyone will notice it's larger than before. The warning sticker is currently about 3-5/8" x 5", so a CF label of around 4" x 5-3/8" or 4-1/8" x 5-1/2" would probably be best. We'll see.
