I think our member torparts already has those made up for sale. Good replicas won't be cheap from any source. Cheap replicas, will just never look right.

Making a vinyl sticker correctly would be a very hard job, the originals are silk-screened onto clear plastic and trying to cut vinyl to match correctly would be a nightmare. A real decal (water-slip transfer) wouldn't be very durable, they are tissue thin.

Understandably, though my car could stand another repaint and I have a friend with a vinyl shop. I know it won't look as good as factory but I'd just like to entertain the idea without shelling out $170 for something that will inevitably get taken off down the road.
