Has anyone succesfully attempted to remove the ugly orange and white saftey info from the underside of the visor's? Its no biggie but if they can come off easily than I want to do it.

Perhaps you can post a photograph? I honestly havent seen what youre referring to. Then again, you have a newer Q with dual airbags...

So are they the same basic design in the 90-95 Q's. If so does anybody have any black ones that they want to sell for cheap?

I believe that's heat bonded.

My 95 has the info printed (very subtle) on the vinyl.

Yes it appears to be. So I would assume that if it did come off that it would leave a ugly scar on there.

Take a blow dryer to it, first on low heat, then max, just go over it back and forth slowly until it starts to come off, if you need something hotter though, you'll have to get a pro tool, my friends dad has one for his sign business, and we use it all the time to remove stuff like that from friend's cars.

I found it one day when I use to troll around in the BMW forums. I never did it so do at your own risk. Good luck.
