Anyone order "stickerless" leather visors from Suncoast?

Are they OEM part but just for Europe spec? Any reviews? I have a 2012 GTS that I'm interested in ordering these for. Other suppliers?

Thanks in advance.

Believe it or not if you use lighter fluid on the stickers you can easily remove them. Cost less than $5.00. Try it!!!

$1000 for visors albeit leather ones seems outrageous, just remove the stickers.

There are a couple of threads here on removing the stickers. I'd like to do it when I get around to it. I'd find the threads for you, but it's a bit of a pita on the iPad...

Thank you for replies. Removed the passenger side sticker and glue residue but cannot seem to get rid of the "ghosting". I've not tried lighter fluid or 90% isopropyl alcohol. I did have a detailer have a go at it but "ghosting" remains.

Did the ghosting remain when using lighter fluid or 90% i.a. on leather?

Thanks again.

Remove them, cover them...I've never even noticed mine. The stickers must only bother a segment of owners. Mine are fine.

I ordered them for my 2009, yes they are OEM parts. Fairly simple to swap out.

There will always be a ghosting effect after removal. If that makes a person crazy, then the OEM replacements is the way to go.

Thank you. My craziness is typically tempered by financial sanity / ability.

They are 100% genuine Porsche parts. In some cases (depending on the color) they need to come from Germany.

If you are interested in a pair let me know. Always happy to help.
