Ok, I have seen the posts here, as well as received quite a few PM's. My laser printer died quite some time ago, and pretty much the reason I stopped making the stickers. A high quality laser printer is needed, as I use a high temperature heat transfer polyester adhesive sheets. Also I need something that prints at 1200 DPI to reproduce the quality of the original stickers.
So, I just ordered a new color laser printer, toner, a high end lamination machine, as well as a stockpile of the heat transfer adhesive polyester sheets, and clear overlays. This set me back around $600. I hope that people that said they want stickers come through
You make them, I will buy them. But I need to know what you can and will not make as well as prices. I have 4 Pontiacs that can use them in some form.
I am interested in some of these as well, however I am not looking for keeping it stock. I want to add in the RPO codes for the LS4, F40 and likely a few other non-fiero options just for fun...
I am VERY sorry for the YEAR and a HALF delay! I had issue after issue making the stickers. I did find a new material, and all seems to be going well. I actually have 8 sets made, and I am in the process of getting things completed. I should have them for sale again within the next week. I will post a link to the web page where you can order them.

Again, sorry for the long delay for the stickers. They are available at www.FieroStickers.com The prices, whats included, sample photos ect are all on the website.
Sorry to bother you John, but I have still not received my 1988 stickers, here is my order number #10018 payed on the February 23rd, it says will be notified on the invoice when they ship. I have not even got that. Please let me know where they are at John Podziemski

As I posted in the sticker thread, and in the original post, I had a limited number of sets for the first order, and asked people to be patient when those were gone till I had more ready to go.
I just sent out the second batch of stickers today. I am really sorry for the delay. BTW, you are NOT bothering me in any way. Feel free to contact me at any time!
My occupation is motor vehicle fraud, so without getting into the nitty gritty of federal and variety of individual state laws, let me say this on the surface level...
To stay in the "safe zone" there is nothing wrong with you "adding" your VIN to your car somewhere else (etching on glass, stickers, hidden stamp, etc) but I would highly recommend not recreating or replacing or removing any existing VIN stickers, stampings, or tags that were installed by the manufacturer, regardless of age.

Hey everyone, I have not made sets for a few months now. I just started a new business, and being a new business owner is certainly consuming my time! I will try to make a bunch of sets here in the next couple of months. Sorry, i know that is a long time, I just am unable to do them right now.

This is all fine and dandy, but what about those stickers that have come off due to weathering? I have 2 - the 1 on the front fascia disappeared years ago (residue still there) and left front fender came off while I went over it with the pressure washer.
What if I want to do a full repaint of my car? There is a VIN sticker on my 88 behind the rear plate, am I suppose to "go around it"?

As mentioned many times in this thread, I will not under any circumstances reproduce the small VIN code stickers. No matter how any ones asks, downplays the risks ect. It is simply for legal reasons, and I will not now, or in the future create the VIN sticker.
I am not trying to be be rude or dismissive, it is just not in any way worth the risk to myself or anyone that would intend on using the stickers.
Does removing a VIN number violate federal law? It is a federal crime to:
remove
obliterate
tamper with
alter
recreate
a vehicle’s VIN number.
The law also forbids removing or tampering with identifying decals or stickers. It also forbids covering those decals or stickers to hide them.

I just started selling sticker sets again, and I have a very limited supply available.
I also am doing the RPO sheets as well.
Here is an RPO I just did this morning. I use the photo of the original as a background layer to PRECISELY line things up. The new lettering is on top of every letter in the left image. They line up well enough that the lettering on the original, with the new lettering overlayed, makes it just look like bold text.
Note the "82D" on the bottom line. That is a discrepancy from the factory, as they manually type set the lettering back in the day. I replicated that "blemish" by lining my font on top in the same way. In this case, the person that ordered this, changed many of the RPO codes and added a couple, so you see kinda of a double vision in many places.
As precise as I make them, it is not possible to get 100% accuracy from a photo. The camera is on a angle sometimes and not dead on. The lens of the camera can fisheye the outer edge of the photo, and finally , it is a photo of an original that is stuck to a fender well with convex curve further distorting the image.
I vaguely remembered someone doin this and sending it to me, but I couldnt find it anywherer! I could fairly easily make a sticker out of this is you are interested. I could do it for $6. That is mostly for materials, a little bit of time and shipping is included.

If you ever want to hand this off, I work at a company that just does this all day. I started looking into how hard it would be to set up everything for this and didn't really get anywhere. Id happily buy the files off of you so when you don't want to do this anymore, it can still be available.

I will save your information, but for now I have no interest in selling or turning anything over. Times do change, and I do have a plan currently in place for all of my projects if something unforseen were to happen.
