Transferring shock tower stickers

Is it possible to transfer the belt routing and emissions control stickers from the shock tower on one vehicle to the shock tower on another? I did an engine swap and want to re-use the stickers from the donor car to avoid paying $30 for two stickers. I have a heat gun, and scrapers/razors.

I removed mine from my car and they are designed to shred, half the sticker pulls up and the other half remains in diagonal stripes. I doubt you will be able to salvage them, just get rid of them it looks cleaner anyway.

I'd buy the stainless ones from muffinbuster

Good looking and they have the entire label etched in them

I'm pretty sure I need the stickers for the California smog referees since I did an engine swap.
