I work at a sticker shop and I'd love to start selling every single decal the car had for restoration, including the jack info and fan warning or even the sun visor sticker. My problem is that I have no idea where to get a high quality rip of this stuff. I have access to the big fancy printer and all the vinyl cutting tools in the world but not the images. Any help so I can help out the community? I know you can get the decklid decals from Phoenix but they cost 60 dollars and shipping from the FieroStore is very pricey. I would be able to get all stickers out the door for 12-15 bucks (or less) with shipping included [This message has been edited by Additivewalnut (edited 01-30-2024).]

That would be great, similar to Fiero Sails a few years ago, I'm definitely not an expert, but the way Fiero Sails did the 85gt decklid decal was to find a pristine car with the original, then get a "rubbing" of it, to then scan in and copy, essentially physically tracing it out, also the reason Phoenix ones are 30 for the Fiero 2m- and 60 for the Indy Fiero and Fiero GT logos is the two color, they essentially need 2 sheets of vinyl, and while 1 sheet definitely doesn't cost 30 dollars, I think they have free shipping and are the only place to get appropriately sized decals (maybe, maybe they're improperly sized like the Fiero stores to) if you can figure it out and print it on a vinyl that will last as long as the original or longer, and can get it out the door for 15 dollars, I can guarantee you my business! My logo is peeled cracked and generally a mess!

That's why I started looking into this myself, my car is currently a "erio 2n6" LOL
Honestly I'd love to get in contact with Fiero Sails and see if he would supply me with the stuff he had so I can duplicate it. Is he still active?

Just a photo of such a decal would be enough and I'm pretty sure I (and quite a few others here) could make an exact copy which you can use as artwork for your decals.

I don't know about Fiero Sails, I found 2 emails on the thread that announced them closing, and the thread said that they were ending the actual sail panels but continuing decals, I sent emails to both addresses and there was no response, so I have to assume there's nothing, the website has been saved in various places, and it has images of decals, and some dimensions

Factory decal vs Fiero store decal, replacement is slightly smaller in all dimensions and isn't two tone

oh no kidding? if you're able to do that, that would incredibly helpful. I may be able to get a good pic of the under hood stickers as mine aren't too horribly deteriorated... but I don't have much to go from with the decklid or formula vinyl. I did some test cuts yesterday but the artwork I found on google had a ton of artificing so some of the lines came out jagged or otherwise wonky.

I can definitely fix the size issue, two tone may be a problem though. Where is it two-toned? My blind self can't tell

These were the first attempts, they look fine from a foot back but up close they're not gonna pass as restoration parts. I had to tweak and repair a lot of the lines from the nasty .jpg I was finding on google.

The two tone is invisible on my car, because of paint color, bit would show up on white or black GTs, it is charcoal Silver outer pinstriping, with a red Pinstripe in-between the Silver, all colored cars had that but Silver, with silver cars having black with red pinstriping decals. The only decklid decals that had the two tone was the 1985 Fiero GT (only notchback GT) and the Indy Fiero decal, all others were a single color. In my case it wouldn't be the end of the world if it wasn't two toned, because my paint matches the center stripe, closer picture of my decal, you can vaguely see the center stripe.
Edit: the link I posted to Fiero Sails has decent pictures of the decals (I think)

Also, probably easy to do, making Fiero GT wheel center cap stickers, Rodney Dickman used to as did Fiero Sails, that should be pretty simple to do
