Default Warning label on back of carbon buckets?

You gent's leave them on for the "stock" look or did you remove them. Or is this the dumbest question on Rennlist so far?

It's not a pricing thread so therefore it can't be the dumbest question. That being said, I would remove them if you want, wouldn't think leaving them on would benefit you unless you're going to enter the car into a concourse event or something

That's funny! My car is pretty damn clean but it's not going to Pebble Beach anytime soon. They are coming off, they are an eyesore. Thx.

Beginning with the 996 through the 997 era (I don't have experience with 991s) it's been easiest to buy a set of Euro sunvisors. The stickers come off US visors but they leave a "ghost" outline that's worse than the stickers. The seat stickers are an easy job with patience. It's 15 minutes tops. Problem for 997 guys is there are no more Euro black vinyl sunvisors. So you can go leather which is crazy expensive, convert a set of 987 sunvisors (not fun) scan Euro dismantlers or live with what you've got. The most insane move of all is to buy US leather sunvisors. I can't imagine Porsche sells too many of those. JBO

Too far man, that tag says not to remove in big bold letters.

Someone mentioned sun visors. Those require some knowledge. The stickers behind the seats as easy as peel off / remove adhesive. So I thought I might add some valuable info about the sun visors which are hideous with the warning stickers. Josh
