Does anyone know is this a sticker that can be taken off or will I damage the sunvisor trying to peel it off?

I'd imagine it would leave a fair amount of residue behind at the very least. I wouldn't chance it myself for something as small as a sticker.

Yep, can be done without damage. It's not just a use your fingernail and peel thing though.

How I did it:
Remove the visor, it takes a long time and some elbow grease to get the sticker off.
Spray with Goof-off Pro-strength and use a scotch bright pad to rub off as much of the printing as you possibly can (especially the yellow parts)
Soak a rag in goof off and place it entirely over the sticker. Keep it totally soaked until the vinyl gets totally impregnated (it will expand in get wrinkly)
Peel with a credit card or fingernails keeping it soaked the whole time. It comes off in tiny pieces and you need to keep it soaked. This takes a long time.
Let it dry out and the vinyl will re-tighten.
Use Goof-off to remove remaining glue.

There is a little outline that remains, but I imagine that will disappear in time. Be very careful not to allow any of the goof-off to touch the plastic pieces around the vanity mirror...it corrodes it a bit and leaves white spots (I found out by setting one on a slightly damp rag for approximately a millisecond). My vinyl fully re-tightened once it dried out, but I was a bit concerned because it gets really loose when it's soaked...YMMV.

Option 2, measure it exactly and have a sticker of something you like taylor made to fit and apply. Then you dont have to go through the work of removing it but still dont have to see it anymore.
