To be fair, they are Alcantara, not just replacement minus stickers.

From reading this thread, I'm fairly certain this won't solve all of his issues!

A year ago I bought a pair in mint condition from a breaker in Lithuania. They posted it to my family in Europe, and in turn they posted to me. All-in I think I paid less than US$150.

By the way, does anyone know whether there is any regulation in the US that requires these yellow stickers to appear on the visors when selling a used car?

Wonder if back to black or some other plastic trim restorer will make them look "normal" again? On the non-alcantara/suede of course. Who is willing to try it?

Another option I've employed in the past is to just reupholster the OEM visors. I do the work myself so I'm not sure if a qualified shop would charge less than the IND replacements.

Not sure about the legalities of it, but...
I've traded cars in w/o them and it was never a problem.
