Will acetone discolor or dry out the vinyl?

it is possible, but maybe you could test it on some old vinyl, or an unseen part of the seat. there is a spray called vinylex that is really good at making old black plastic and vinyl look brand new by restoring emolients. it comes in a tealish colored spray bottle. its great for restoring old stuff.

It's a brand new cover and I don't want to damage the vinyl. I just don't want the stencilled lettering. If I can't find a mild remover I guess I'll just live with it.

My guess is you would be better to spring for a new cover with letters and sell on the other... :(
