3M adhesive remover will work as well, my buddy did his truck that way, he removed the visor, put a towel over the sticker and used an iron on the steam setting; peeled the sticker right off with very little residue at all, then used 3M adhesive remover with a cotton cloth to buff the stuff off, looks good and you cant even tell where it was.

I just talked to the OP and he said that Oopps is alcohol based, not oily like Goo Gone. It would probaly be best to get Oops as Goo Gone may stain the visor. Thanks to 2007Gt once again.
I ended up using a steamer and a towel, my wife has an industrial steamer at her disposal. The first one she steamed the crap out of and it came off pretty clean, the other she did not steam enough and it left ALOT of residue. She then worked on it with Goo gone and a toothbrush. Put some goo gone on the tooth brush and brushed off, just keep going until the visor is dry and pick up the residue pieces with a lint roller. Repeat if nessary. The Goo gone did not leave an oily stain like I thought it might, but it took my wife a couple of hours to get all the residue off.
I've only had the car for a few weeks, but MAN those stickers annoy the crap outa me!! I started pealing one off and it wasnt cooperating too well. Looks like I'll be breaking out the iron and goo gone this weekend!
This mod does not increase performance by itself. It needs to be done along with another mod to get its full benifit:
The shorty antenna reduces aerodynamic drag and the visor sticker delete reduces glare that allows the cars top speed to be increased by at least 3 mph on the Mulsanne straight at Le Manns.
Seriously, I'm glad if my post helped others get those tacky stickers off there cars!
I'm guessing if you didn't notice the stickers on the visor, you are probably average height. I'm 6'4" and those stickers are right in my view, I hate them. I tried the suggested method here to remove the stickers and it didn't work so well for me, at least not good enough for a show car. You could still see the glue even after washing it with Woolite and with goo gone. I just got back from picking up my visors from a uphosltery place today. They re-covered them in the factory cloth for $31 ea. I wanted to get them covered in black leather but they said the material would be too thick. 2 other places told me the visors couldn't be re-covered at all, the place that did it said it was easy. -Joe

I'm sorry you didn't get the results you were after. I used Oops not Goo Gone and got the results pictured at the beginning of this post. In the bright light of the picture you can still see were the sticker was. I have to say I don't notice it in the car. But for a show car the ultimate answer is to recover the visor as you have done. Awsome car by the way!

I removed mine with nothing more than a hot hair dryer. The key was being very, very patient, not moving too fast so that you really get the adhesive underneath to soften. Also, immediately after removal, get a top quality fabric cleaner, (Resolve worked well for me) and use as directed. I had no residual adhesive left and after about two weeks, you can't even tell there were sitckers there in the first place.
