SLP gave the ok to make some BUT they can't advertise or sell on ebay or anything. Replacement Purposes Only.Because they understand our cars are getting older & need refreshment.
You WOULD think SLP would be happy to take our money, lets face it after the vinyl cutter cost is absorbed decals are mostly profit?
If you want to know where to get some, just send me a PM request.
It's not that it's something that anyone is trying to hide, but since there are sponsors here who do offer vinyl work, ya can't step on anyone's toes.
Non-sponsor available to make them for replacements, because no one else does, ...
Just let me know if you want an email address.

Hi PontiacFan,
I was searching google and saw that you had someone that could print the 10th anniversary decals. I have number 70 and wanted to get some replaced. Any way you could send me a PM or let me know if you still have someone able to replace them?

It used to be 'taboo' to make Firehawk product as SLP was very protective. So it wasn't posted publicly to protect SLP's copyright on the tradename.
These days, we all know they're not going to make Firehawk/SS parts anymore, so we have to get whatever we can find from other sources.

Good find! I assume it includes a headlight decal for the LT1 cars?
Yes, that's what it says.
But cheese-n-rice, ..., $108.99?!?

They were an LT4 Firehawk owner for many years, & know the graphics required.
Surely they can beat $108.99, ...
Notice that the page above doesn't separate the years from the LT cars to the LS cars.
There are some differences over the years. Early versions had some 'ragged' edges.
So I ordered a set of Firehawk replacement decals from Phoenix Graphics, and when they arrived I immediately noticed the "swoosh" color was wrong.
The OEM decals have a hot fuscia "swoosh", while these Phoenix Graphics decals have a "swoosh" accent that is much darker, more toward a plum colour.
I attach a photo of the Phoenix Graphics decals in the packaging, and a photo of the OEM Firehawk decals on my car, for comparison.
I had a look on bringatrailer, for the highest quality pictures of black (or dark blue) Firehawks, and their decals all match my car. The "swoosh" is hot pink (fuscia).
I have contacted them, but haven't had a response yet.
This has nothing to do with fading, or exposure to sun etc. My car's decals appear brand new (as the car has been garaged its whole life, and are in the same condition as when I bought the car 21+ years ago.
I really only need the rear decal, because I had the rear bumper repainted recently.
Anyone found a set of replacement Firehawk decals that have accurate, OEM colours? Very frustrated.
I also purchased a set of decals off eBay, and the "swoosh" was even more wrong (a very dark purple, basically plum color). Sent those back for a refund.
I went through my records, and discovered somewhere I was told (by someone) the vinyl color codes that match the OEM Firehawk decals.
Avery Vinyl, and the codes were (for silver) A9069-0 "Silver Summer" and (for fuscia) A9435-0 "Raspberry".
I don't know if the OEM decals were on Avery Vinyl, or not. It would be interesting if someone with that depth of knowledge (maybe a retired SLP employee?) could confirm the source of the OEM decals.
I've been in touch with another decal company, and they have sent me vinyl samples. The silver appears spot on, but the "swoosh" is (to my eyes) a little too dark.
When I get a moment, there is a local vinyl company, and I plan to stop in there, and see if they can provide a better match to the "swoosh".
I stand by the recommendations that I've already noted above.
If you don't believe, ..., you really need to contact Mike & Jennifer Moore.
They were an LT4 Firehawk owner, & had the graphics design capability for many years.
They know what colors & designs go with which cars. www.scoutcoproducts.com
If you need an email address, please send me a PM.
I don't think it would be right to post it.
