FS: GT3/GT3RS Alcantara Sun Visors
I'd like to get some without the airbag warning sticker. Figured someone might want the OEM ones if they didn't spec them in their car. Anybody interested?
They're $1,295 from Porsche. How about $1,000 for the pair. Shipped within the USA.

Yeah I looked into it. I don't want to risk damaging the alcantara. I could try it and if I mess up, just buy new ones without the sticker. But then I'm out the difference. I figured it's easier to just sell the stock ones.

Just to be clear, alcantara sun visors are $1,250 from Porsche. Yes, it's cheaper if you spec your car with them to begin with. I'm not parting my car out, I'm just replacing them with ones sans sticker. So it's not like I'm trying to profit or something. PCCBs are like $9K if you spec your car with them. But $20,000 if you want them after the fact. And it's a sun visor, they don't exactly depreciate every time you check yourself out in the mirror... I'm not THAT ugly lol.
Either way, has anybody had good luck removing the stickers themselves? I guess the procedure is some rubbing alcohol and a plastic bag wrapped around the visor for a while? Any damage to the alcantara? Does it leave the outline of the sticker behind?

My detailer advised against it, but I'm still on the fence about whether a ghost ring is really as bad as that yellow NHTSA nanny note.

Soak the sponge and rub it for some time over the sticker and will start to break it down. Then start peeling away. Just be patient

I don't think I'm as anally retentive as a concours level detailer so I'm really leaning towards the IPA and plastic bag method. Being in Cali, it may be harder to find the plastic bag than 100% IPA

I think I actually have some 99% IPA I use for cleaning electronic components (I build guitar amps).
