I know y'all r tired of hearing about these stickers but I just got 2 (1985) stickers in the mail from Australia. The letzgo rotary guy mailed them to me. These are about 2 1/2 inches--not real sure about the size of the factory ones but heck these r good enough or me. I told him y'all were all here for him so lemme see how he wants to do this. I can't believe I'm looking at them. Lol

Trying to get with him and see how he wants to do this as I do not want to be the middle man. Hang in there boys. He sent me 2 1985's. I needed an 82 so I dunno if that's all he has or what. Will letcha know ASAP.

Here ya' go folks, fresh off 'Sip's Iphone. Looks like a very nicely done reproduction, but maybe a little smaller than stock and looks like an outside sticker.

We need to get the guy who's making these things to produce the other years, hopefully in the full 4" original size internal stickers, and then make them available to the long line of folks who've been waiting for years to get one of these.

Thanks 'Sip, nice progress so far!

I haven't read through the entire thread or links but a quick google gave me companies such as this one: http://www.protuffdecals.com/product...ath=4320,13114

Anyone try hitting them up and seeing if they could reproduce if given the design? Again, not sure it's been talked about before...if so, my bad.

These do look pretty sweet! It would just be gravy on top if they were available with a face/front adhesive so'z they could be mounted inside the glass.

Of course, there's the whole "beggars can't be choosers" argument. For whatever that's worth!

I think it's pretty awesome all of the work that has gone into these. Party on!

Something is better than nothing, but one of those 1980 IMSA/GTU stickers or at least the correct year sticker for your FB would be priceless.

For reference, here's a quarter on my uninstalled 1983 sticker, which is 4" diameter:

I think he wants to get someone to deal with all the rx7 club members. He has never asked for money for the ones he gave me. I was hoping ray could talk to him since ray knows all the specks. So--I dunno. Il anyone is interested in doing that. Email him

I'm having a little trouble with the 'RX-7' logo/font and the Manufacturer's Championship text just because of how thin it is. I am happy with how the black texture that goes around the years/leaves came out. The remakes on here don't quite have that. If anyone can come up with the RX-7 outlined logo or determine what font is used for 'Manufacturer's Championship' we'll be one step closer.

Also, some places do offer window/reversible stickers that have the front adhesive. This of course would allow us to stick them on from the inside. The pictures confuse me though. Some look like a flat gold color, while others have sort of a gold leaf texture to them.
