I have been working on reproduction stickers for the Fiero since around February of 2010 after gauging interest in them in THIS THREAD. I am happy to say that they are finally ready! I have done so much research, and tested & tried a ton of different types of printers, materials, laminates, vinyl's, plastic sheeting, card-stock and techniques. I have also spent many, MANY hours meticulously re-creating each of the stickers in Photoshop. The stickers are not just scans or photos of the original stickers, but complete recreations, from scratch. I scanned the original stickers at 1200 DPI and used them as a background layer in Photoshop. I then recreated the diagrams and fonts to align perfectly over the top of the original. There are over 17 different fonts used on the Fiero's stickers! The end result is a sticker, that is an exact copy of the original in every way, and of the highest resolution. This process has been very time consuming. Just creating the 88 emissions sticker took a total of 12 hours to complete, and is comprised of over 100 layers in Photo Shop.

One of the advantages of doing the stickers in layers, is that they can be customized. If you have different wheels / tires on your car, I can put the correct information on the door sticker to reflect your cars changes.


You can see the individual stickers, as well as purchase them at FieroDecals.com

You will not get just a sheet of vinyl with images on it... You will receive all of the stickers that have been precision cut on an electronic dye cutting machine. When you receive them, they are ready to peel and stick. [/b]

I am offering the entire set of stickers for $47 (including the jacking instructions), or just the jacking instructions sheet by itself for $19.

I got a PM from someone yesterday asking about the size of the jacking instructions sheet. They had ordered one in the past from another member that used to sell them quite some time ago. When he went to install it, it was too large to fit, and a lot of trimming had to be done. The one I have recreated, is the same size as the original stock one. I have one installed one on my car, and it fit perfectly in the allocated space under the front hood. There are 2 variations of this sticker, one for the old style 1984 jack, and the one for all newer Fiero's. You will receive the correct one with your order, depending on the year of your Fiero.
Here is a video showing how the stickers are being precision cut to be as exact as possible to the originals:




I specifically purchased a business quality Color Laser printer with a inline feeding slot to handle the polyester material. I then print the images onto that weatherproof polyester film. Print is a word I use loosely, as a the Laser printer actually heat transfers the toner onto the sheet fusing it permanently to the polyester. Finally, a very thin laminate film is applied over the top to provide protection to the sticker, as well as "thicken the sticker" to give the same look and feel & thickness as the factory originals.

I know another person has started selling stickers just recently here on the forum. They were unaware that I had been working on recreating the stickers myself till just a few days before they started selling them. I am not intending to "step on anyone's toes" so to speak, but I have been working on these far longer, and I just have far too much time and money invested in this to just throw all of that time and money away.

He and I are also offering 2 different ways that the stickers are produced. Where I have recreated the stickers in Photoshop, they are just that, recreations. The other user has photocopied the original stickers, thus making absolutely they are 100% authentic in every way. It is up to the purchaser to decide which type they would like to have on their car.


Another member on the forum, JimmyS purchased a sticker sheet from the other vendor here on the forum, He was kind enough to send one of them to to me. Here is a comparison between the stickers he offers, and the ones that I have made. Here are both stickers, my reproduction is the one on the bottom of the image:

quote Originally posted by Fiero Thomas: Mine are not photocopied and I like the way you slammed me on your website. but nice to see your the same on price

It was not my intent to "slam" anyone. I have provided a side by side comparison of the different stickers, and even mentioned that yours are more authentic as they are photo copied. That is my mistake and I am sorry for that. That is just the way they appeared to me. Are they reproduced from Photographs then? Either way, I made a mistake, and again apologize for that and will remove that they were photocopied.

Actually I am asking $30 for the set of stickers, I thought you were asking $35?

Thinking about it further, How exactly is it that you feel "slammed"? I posted a photo of your stickers and mine side-by-side. There is NO mention of quality, production or differences at all just a photo. More than likely you see the quality difference yourself. If they were the same, I do not think you would feel "slammed"

Wow, I was not trying to start some forum war here, or any ill feelings. I figured there was room for 2 people selling something to the Fiero Community. Especially when I started the project first.

Ok....... This is not something I was going to bring up, and wanted to leave well enough alone, and not complain that someone else got the idea to make the stickers from me.... I was like so be it, the more vendors the merrier! But now I guess that full disclosure is in order:

I have been working on these stickers for a little over 6 months now designing each and every one of them individual in Photoshop. Just ONE of the Emission stickers takes about 10 hours to complete. I also have have spent about $600 so far, to purchase a Business Color Laser Jet printer purchased JUST to print the stickers correctly FieroThomas mentioned his stickers just 3 weeks ago in the general forum, (Where I PM'd him to let him know I had been working on them for months, I explained the the money and time I have involved, and that I was just about ready to start selling them. His reply? He offered to buy the one sticker from me that he had not yet photocopied, so he could add it to his set to sell! I told him I had worked to long and hard on this project, and declined the "offer". His stickers went to the mall 1 week later. So in this case, I do not feel like I have "stolen someones Else's ideas"

You can check my build thread, starting around December, 2012 where I am talking about working on the reproduction stickers, and photo's throughout the thread from that day forward as they progressed.

Check your spelling.



Somehow you both made the exact same spelling errors on the exact same stickers.

Thank you for the heads up! It has been fixed.

EDIT: I just re-read your message, and thought the same typo on both of my stickers is what you meant. I went and looked at FieroThomas's and now see what you meant. That really is crazy that he had the exact spelling error, on the exact same sticker.
