Hi,

 

I have just purchased a 2008 LTZ CC and was wondering how to remove the airbag stickers from the sun visors.

 

I was also thinking of removing the lower front valence (chin guard), is this part needed for proper air flow or can it be removed safely?

 

I did do a search but had no luck locating any answers.

 

Thanks for any help

Mike

Welcome!!

You can remove the lower valance,A lot of us on here have,I had mine removed but reinstalled it after I installed my front leveling kit.

As far as the stickers,I think there heat glued on so I don't know if you can remove them,Why do you want those removed anyway?

Somebody posted in here a while back that they removed theirs (stickers) but I haven't been brave enough to try it for fear of a glue mess...

If you remove those air bag warning stickers, the secret sticker police will kidnap you, take you to a secret prison in Romania, and nobody will hear about you again. So don't even think about it!

Is that the same prison they put all of the "Under penalty of law, this tag not to be removed except by consumer" pillow tag offenders? :D

You can remove the air dam but at a price in fuel economy. GM didnt put it on for speed.

 

 

Yep, this is a fact. If you remove it, you will use 1 cup of extra gas per 1000 miles. :D:D:crackup:

 

J/K, probably closer to a 1/4 mpg @ 75 mph loss.

A lot of people think that a 1/10 mpg isn't much but the MFR's have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to gain a tenth of a mile per gallon. Just wait until the new 35 mpg law is in effect. Not only will vehicles get smaller but less horsepower too.

I can already see that. :D Plastic bodies, aluminum frames. 8 speed auto transmissions. 3.5 liter V6 diesel electric power train. Maximum weight limit for vehicle occupants 150 lbs each. Maximum cargo capacity 200 lbs.

The answer for your second question is in the owners manual. I always leave the owners manual in the crapper for a month or so - makes for good reading.

 

In the manual, GM suggests you can remove the valance for off-roading but should replace it as soon as possible to aid in cooling on the highway. If it's not that hot where you are located, you could probably run with it off during the fall/winter/spring.

I wanted to remove the stickers because they are Fugly, as for the valence I will leave it on unless I have clearance issues when I go offroad.

 

Thanks for the replies.

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
