I fall under the too scared/hesitant category at the moment, but it does look good with them removed. What products did you use to take it all off?

I sat there and peeled at whatever edge I could that came up the easiest (kind of annoying) and slowly pulled it off, which some of it, maybe all if your unlucky, will peel off in strips (only got one sticker to come off whole) Pick everything off, which I only recommmend your fingernails so you dont puncture the visors. I found that a blow dryer on low speed medium heat makes the adhesive stick less to the visors while peeling it off.

These are the products I used
Goo Gone & Turtle Wax (OXY Interior 1)
found it at walmart its an multi-purpose cleaner and stain remover
comes with the hard and soft brush which came in handy and helped get the job done.




Apply goo gone to the adhesive on your visors after the stickers are removed
scrub it in with a wash cloth and try to remove as much as possible. Then use the turtle wax foam and hard brush and scrub scrub scrub! Apply more foam and let it sit for about 5 mins. Use the wash cloth to scrub and the brushes included with the foam. I went back and forth with goo gone and the foam until you could see all the adhesive was gone. Then blow dry the visor or let it air dry, (I blow dried mine, while scrubbing with the brush and wash cloth to get it all completely off)


It really just takes a bunch of scrubbing and goo gone and foam, thats the trick.

Depends on if you care if there is an outline there or not but if your like me and dont want to see that either, scrub scrub scrub and scrub some more with the foam and brush and it will be all gone. If you dont care about an outline its really easy.


Hope this helps, if you have any questions just ask.
Not so great on writing this stuff up, I just do it lol.
Cheap and fairly easy to do, makes the inside look alot more luxurious (or headliner & visors atleast) in my opinion

Figured Id get away with it while I can. Still have paper plates anyways.
Once I get them though I probably still wont mount it

Looks so much better without, and If I dont have the mount there I'll just tell the officer theres no where I can mount it so it will have to go in my front windshield in the mean time.

If I get a ticket I'll just slap the mount back on and get it dismissed.


Hopefully I'll get away with it for awhile

Antennas look good man.

Just do what I did and put the plate on your windshield when you get it.

Well "knock on wood" I haven't yet. I ran with it sitting in my bed for a few months in college station then put it on my dash but still barely visable. And I just put it with suction cups to the passenger side of the windshield next to the a pillar.

It's been off since this past January

Hope I am as lucky as you then. I'll have to try the suction cup idea.

Nice looking truck, I love the grill on the FX2.

What do you plan on doing with the stock headlights? If you are willing to sell them, I may be interested depending on the price.

Thank you, I love the grill as well. Think im going with the gloss black billet grille soon though.


Was going to keep them incase anything ever happened to my projector headlights but I would sell them if its worth it, pm me about more details.

Nice truck!!! FX2's rock! I wanted white but they didnt have any with LSD within 200miles. The black is nice but white was my first choice. Overall the truck is still awesome!
