eclou, the embossed arm rest covers are an exclusive new car option only, so it is something a dealer would be unable to order without the VIN of a car that came with it from factory.
does the dome lamp cover come with the stitching? It apears to have it in your pic, but I tried to order from Germany (with a VIN from a car that had it) and it does NOT have the stitching. I believe Jason (atomic80) also tried and had the same result.

Can anyone tell me if there is a safe way to remove the factory visor stickers? Also, can they be removed and preserved?

There is a guy on ebay called boxster bob, that sells black stickers that go over the airbag warning stickers. They are perfect and no effort to put on. They are among the best aftermarket add ons to my car.

$126K+ car...a sticker over another sticker may look a little tacky. Just follow the DIY above.

I agree - forget the stickers. I've done the label remove on both vinyl and leather visors and they look great.
