I couldn’t possibly imagine you’d be in legal trouble for removing a sticker. If you’re that worried just buy a generic brand sticker off amazon for $10. Sure it might not be a Porsche one, but if you’re worried about liability of some sort that should give you peace of mind.

Probably depends on the state and the dealership, as all manner of after-market things are done to cars these days. Best to ask a dealer. Airbags are a safety mandate, so there could be liability issues for a re-seller.
Insofar as dinging you on a trade, that would depend perhaps on if it would affect the ability to CPO the car.

I was thinking the same.
But instead of removing the label was planning getting hold of a left hand drive car driver sun visor.
If one day it become an issue not having the label, swap back.
hate those labels.
No idea how easy, or not, it would be though.

I've removed mine assuming that the labels are only compulsory (if they are) on new cars. I do prefer the look of the cabin without but it wasn't a big deal for me.
There are companies that sell black stickers to go over top that would be less obvious than the original and should be removable if necessary down the track

Take a digital photo of it before you remove it.
Later, if needed, you can print the photo onto contact paper (after checking to resize if needed), trim it carefully and re-apply.

May I ask what process did you follow to get those sun visor stickers off? I've used various types of rubbing alcohol on my 2016 VW and it got parts of the stickers off, but smeared other parts of the sticker too.

I've done them on other cars where a heat gun worked well.
Also with goof-off
On the 718 I had to use acetone.
At your own risk.....
Remove the visors from the car to eliminate the chance of other damage.
Tape off the visor area around the label.
Use the acetone sparingly, rinse off immediately & then use vinyl conditioner of your choice.
You may have a slight shadow remaining but it fades in time.

Isopropyl alcohol 70%.
Place soaked cloth/thick paper towel on top of decal and wrap with plastic wrap for 10 minutes or so. It should just peel off. (Mine didn't
--it came off in pieces and I had to work a bit to get the last bits off. No shadow, just an outline of the decal where it had pulled the vinyl. I haven't noticed the outline in a year or so; it may be gone.)
