how to remove airbag decals

disclaimer : don't be stupid, no smoking while doing this,do in well ventalated area, damages are your fault if you get a mess,
sorry about this one it has no pics. remember not to over saturate. i will get some pics of finished product but this turned out better than thought never knew they where there.

step one: remove visors.

step two: get some alcohol, paint thinner and cotton *****.

step three: test an area where not visable.

step four: saturate cotton ***** with alcohol and rub onto decals around 3 minutes.

step five : peel airbag decal and as you pull rub more underneath decal.

step five: this step is only if you need it to remove excess glue, use paint thinner to remove, add paint thinner to cotton ball rub away till gone and desolved.

step six: wash away with a little soap and water.

step seven: your done. the smell will go away put visor in when you are comfortable.

or outside.

I have a simpler method which adds a little style...

I installed the Chevy Emblem Black with Silver and it looks amazing.. 5 minutes and it looks great... I didn't even remove the visors

its really easy to remove these things... paint thinner isnt even that bad! lol seriously though if your really worried about it just do them outside and leave them out of your car for a day or so.
