Hahaha oh yeah. I ignore that as my purpose is to help and share cool product. It is odd behavior since there are many LED companies sharing their thoughts in that thread.

So you grew tired of the Brevard scene also. I love being by the ocean and fishing the lagoon but it’s the people that irritate me here. If I had to leave the beach, the mountains are an acceptable trade. I dream of it. It WILL happen...

My grandparents moved to Indialantic back in the 50's! I spent my summers there as a child (born 1958) and most Christmas holidays.

Magical place that holds many, many fond memories. It's changed a lot since then.

Got to see Apollo 11 ( as well as many, many other launches) lift off from their front lawn!

Love our place in Melbourne. Great area. Bro-in-law watched the Space-x launch early Saturday morning. Kid and grandkid got there Saturday evening. Wife got back 2 weeks ago. She is going back end of month. Not sure when I will get back. Probably Memorial Day week. Much more after I retire.

Yes, you can get most of the decal off the fabric with a steam iron and if you're careful, as in remove or tape around the mirror door, you can also remove the silk-screened decals on the backside of the visor with a solvent like Goof Off or Goo Gone; I use Goof Off. You'll want to remove the visors from the truck to do this.

Note: The sooner you do this the better, i.e., my truck was 18 months old when I did it. If it's a new truck the decals on the cloth will come off a lot easier. And, at least for the TRD, the black cloth visors come out better than, say, the lighter grey fabric did on my wife's Honda Accord. No idea what color your visors are as I don't see any info on your truck in your profile.

Steam iron method for the adhesive warning decals on the front side of the visor has a couple of steps: 1st is to soften and remove the body of the decal by putting a dampened scrap of an old cotton Tshirt over the visor and decal then heating it up with a steam iron until it will peel away in a single sheet: keep the iron moving while applying heat. After that you're left with a bunch of adhesive. To get that off, replace the cotton Tshirt with dry paper towels and then apply the steam iron, but keep it moving. The goal here is to get the adhesive to bond to the paper towel, similar to removing candle wax from fabric. So, you'll apply heat to a sheet of paper towel, pull up some adhesive then toss that towel and get another sheet. After about 2 passes, apply some Goof Off to the remaining adhesive with your cotton cloth, let it soak a moment and then hit it with another paper towel and heat. You'll eventually have just a little bit of adhesive residue, actually a bit of a shadow from where the decal was applied. I wipe that down with the Goof Off until it's mostly gone. It won't be perfect under certain types of bright light, but it looks a hell of a lot better than the bright yellow decal.

As for the silk-screened one, the trick here is not messing up your side lights or the fabric as these solvents like Goof Off and Goo Gone will mar the plastic and/or inadvertently get the silk screen residue on the fabric. You can either remove the door or, for me, I used painters tape to mask-off everything but the door with the decal. So, you'll get the decal off, but then you'll have to lightly mop the plastic door with a piece of cotton dampened with the Goof Off to get the door back to a nice, even sheen.
