Please post a picture showing your visors with the film attached.

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.

This approach looks ok but you can still see the outline of the matte black film. So far it is one of the best of the suggestions on removing or hiding that ugly yellow sticker!

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.
