Leather visors after the fact

Didn't order visors in leather and now kind of regret it. Presumably I could order through Porsche parts department. Any other ideas?

Thanks Bobby, these are slow coming from Europe, so thanks for your patience!

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.

Installation...

You will likely break the plastic tabs from the trim if you are not very very careful.

Alternatively, you could simply unhinge the visor from the holding clip, then pull the visor right off of the mount by pull straight outward. (Much easier, but requires some force to pull the visor off.)

True...if you are removing just the visor itself.

But it is just as easy to remove the swingarm and the visor as a unit. In fact, the replacements come together as a unit.

ESK is on a distinguished road
I've bought a few sets from Gert at Carnewal.com. He's extremely reliable and is/used to be a board sponsor. Usual turn around is a few days.

Steve, I have the VIN of a car in my color with the logo, the local dealer was reluctant to order it. Can you help me out?
