Lodi, I got the leather seat backs too and they look great. You should take those yellow stickers off. Mine came off with ease and left no residue.

You have to love those yellow gov mandated warning labels on the seat backs (and sun visors). Especially since the seat back will not be seen by anyone - no rear seats...Hopefully the ones on the seat back are removeable, they are "burned in" and not removable on the sunvisors.

I will. I picked her up last Thursday and have not had much time to tend to the details. She is getting her bra fitted today (Expel Ultimate). Hopefully I can remove them over the weekend. Thanks!

Lodi, the center console trim in leather on the configurator shows leather where you have the carbon fibre? Am I missing something here?

How did you take the stickers off the leather seat backs?

My understanding is that you use 92% isopropyl alcohol for the stickers on the vinyl visors and a hot blow dryer for the stickers on the regular seat backs. Unsure if the protocol is different for the leather seats backs?

My GT3 arrives in 3 weeks and getting rid of those stickers is my first priority.

I've seen the new yellow stickers for the vinyl sunvisors. They are not removable but part of the material. The old stickers used to be removable but the new ones look to be embedded in the vinyl material.

They are removable, as it's been done already.

Yea, not having lift would be the real resale-killer. Leather can be debated to death. But the front lift issue has finally been put to bed.

The stickers can definitely be removed from the vinyl visors. If you're interested in the how-to, Greg, shoot me a PM.

Yea that, and whether the wheels have been plasti-dipped. Any of those, and I'm out!
