Welllll. When I purchased my Firehawk with only 12,000 miles on it, The Original Stickers were unreadable...... I had a Set made by Dave Hamburger about 3 years ago, and the Printing on them was not the same as the Originals, So I guess you could say that the one I bought from him were no better than the 40.00 ones being sold. I don't think anybody will ever match the exact fonts of the Originals, But who is going to know anyway???

Well, I never knew about the guy on the Firehawk boards. I found this thread and just posted w/o reading it. Kinda feel like an *** now, but at least my heart was in the right place. I saw all of us bitching for a while and finally wanted to spear-head something myself and help some people out.
On a side note, to match the font, it takes a Zebra printer. Google it or flea bay it. But yeah, after checking out the other guy's stuff, it's really nice. I guess I could get a set from him, and also have him do the print on my originals just to have.
Well, I guess we can finally lay this to rest. I do, however, hightly reccomend we do some sort of sticky for the reproduction stickers, as this gets brought up ALOT. Maybe include it in a FAQ?

Today I received my reproduction door decals for my Firehawk from LT4 hawk 9, and I am very happy with them. My original ones were not too faded, however I wanted a spare set just in case. Mike was very quick about getting them made and extremely professional.
As you can see there are minor differences from the original ones on the door but I doubt most people would notice. If I had to replace the original decals for some reason I would disclose that the replacements are reproduction. That being said from what I have read is it even possible to get "original" decals anymore?
If you look closely, SLP was careless and some of the printing on the decals ran off the edge and some of the lines did not line up correctly. Mike called me and asked if I wanted to have my new ones look EXACTLY like the ones on my car or he could make the corrections to make them the way they are SUPPOSED to look.
I think this is an excellent resource for replacement decals and I am very glad that he has gone to the effort of doing this for a reasonable price.

Getting them from LT4 Hawk 9 sure is tempting after seeing those. I really wouldn't want to go through the effort of finding a printer for them and doing them myself.
I'm a perfectionist when it comes to design (I kinda have to be, see signature) and there is one thing that bothers me. The numbers written vertically up the right side are too closely spaced, and that annoys me and doesn't match the originals. Next person who gets them should request he increase the tracking of that set of numbers. The rest looks really good.

I'm actually looking for the outer sticker for the rear bumper as my bumper apparently has been painted and the sticker is missing. Thanks 
. Also on a side note, if anyone knows of any way to obtain the "plaque" on the inside of the car ( on the dash-stating SLP number etc?) please point me in the right direction. Mine is missing 
Sorry to thread hijack here sir. Any help at all from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

I just saw the e-bay listing for the blank SLP stickers for 80 bucks. I think that the reproduction stickers look awesome and are well worth the money. Who cares if its not true SLP paper, as stated earlier in the thread the 80 dollar paper will fade again. Awesome find and I think Ill order some for the "Just in case" moments in life.
