Got my visor mod done
Removed those FUGLY warning labels.
This is something that I never got arround to trying with the G.
Those labels are heat fused on & on the Infiniti they had a plastic backing on the visor.
I don't know if anyone was ever successful with goof-off or not but I didn't want to get into that mess.
With the Bimmer the label is fused directly onto the vinyl (no plastic backing)
Sooo I gave it a try with a hair dyer a scraper (borrowed from the kitchen) & a few prayers.
The process...
& the results
There was a little residue after removal.......
Isopropyl & a microfiber cleaned that up.
I followed that with some 303 to condition the vinyl.
It is soooooo nice to be rid of those labels.

Haha nice Ian. A shame mine are a part of the vinyl; I might replace the entire headliner though.
You're leaving the stock brakes but changing the pads? Any thoughts on a new brake system? I know the Z4M's is probably pretty substantial to begin with.
I have some stuff I'm working on two but one of my jack stands busted today (great week for me breaking things).
How is the deconstruction of the G going? All done?
