They look ok. If you look close you can see the seam between the sticker and the visor, but it really isn't that noticeable. I just wish they didn't put the dang stickers on there...thanks a lot lawyers.

The stickers on Ebay cover the sunvisor vanity flaps and I will get those.
Are there any available that cover the sticker on the other side of the visor?

Hi,
With some tweezers and some Isopronanol (isopropyl alcohol), you can remove the stickers without a trace. Take a rag and drench it with Isopropanol, then hold it against the sticker (especially one edge) for a minute or so. Then carefully peel back the sticker (a fingernail works well here) and while holding it with the tweezers, keep dabbing the exposed edge with the rag and pulling gently. Takes a couple minutes and the sticker will be free. Hope this helps...

I read somewhere that you can order the sunvisors from a Mexico dealership, and they do not have any airbag stickers.
Edit: No personal information, but here is a link to Porsche Mexico in case someone wants to locate a dealer and inquire about shipping to the US:

Are you sure this solution applies to new 987s?
The warning labels don't look like stickers with edges, they look like they are imprinted onto the visor somehow.

Hi,
Nope, they're stickers, but very thin and you can't readily see a seam, but it's there...

PS Acetone not recommended, it can eat the plastic.

I did the same with acetone. Worked on both sides or visors.
