Ugo sun visor stickers, and What's this?

Has anyone found a way to remove the air bag warning stickers on the sun visors? I'd even replace them both if I could get them without the ugly things:

Also, I tried to figure out what optional doohickey I might not have that would go here, but can't find anything. Anyone know what this is, aside from one of those things that make you go hmmmmm?

Unfortunately the label is required for vehicles marketed and sold in the USA, per NHTSA 49 CFR Part 571. It is even required that the label be difficult to remove or create some unfavorable outcome that discourages removal.

A challenge? "Discourage"d, but I will overcome! Anyone here from Deutschland that I can have 'non-compliant' visors delivered to?

Acetone worked like a charm. Used a few paper towels, and soaked the stickers for about a minute, then they peeled off in one piece. Gently rubbed the remaining spot to pick up any leftover glue, and there's nothing to see!
