Default Door stickers

So after i had my driver side door replaced i got the old door and peeled off the factory stickers to either have a replacement or new ones put on, i mean i want to save the originals and put them on but what would i use to adhere it to the door, or is there a company or site when i can have new ones printed? if you cant understand the question, im wondering if i can have them reprinted or should i just put some type of glue and put them back on? bueller?

I've been wondering about this too.

I know the SS/SLP stickers are no longer available, not sure about the GM ones.

You can't get them.

When I first bought my car, I didn't realize until I had to have the VIN check done that those stickers were gone from my car.

I spent hours on the phone with Pontiac and other resto parts companies, nobody reprints them. It's a legal thing, since the VIN is on them and they're used for vehicle ID.

In my case, since the car was bought from out of state, RI requires a VIN check to be performed at a police station. Once you get that done, you can get your registration. Well my cowl tag was there, but the door stickers were gone. I oculdn't pass the VIN check at the police station. I ended up going having to go to the state inspection garage, they put it on the lift and matched the numbers off the tranny.

the vin is also stamped on the passenger windshield pillar, underneath the weather stripping about 10 inches from the top corner of the windshield.. fyi, thats generally what they want is a body / tag match... the tranny and engine could be different..

Actually, when I first got my WS6, I wanted to make sure it was on the RPOs but I had to roll back the bottom right corner of the door sticker to read it.... I just got some thick packing tape and put it over the whole decal then trimmed the edges with a new razor blade...

actually, you could probably take a HD pic, take it to a vinyl print company and they can make it for you...

I am going throught the same thing right now. This is the company I found, they are out of STL. I called them, sounded like a guy at home though. I have never heard of anyone that has used them either. I was told by the ins. adjuster that they can not be replaced. Another adjuster said if I can find them that they will gladly pay for them .

its all a legal thing cuz they do not want vin tags of decals easily replaced. makes for a heck of a problem when changing parts involved in a collision.
