Yes please. In hindsight I should have measured what was left of my fading sticker before it was removed to tint the windows.

I got one from a guy in Puerto Rico a year or two ago who was selling them. It's a pretty good copy, only issue is it's about a quarter inch bigger than the original.

I'll be putting it on my current FB project, the White One II.

Not sure if he's still selling them but the price was right, something like $15 shipped.

Here's a photo of the sticker not yet installed:

Ray - Any info on the guy you got this from? Size doesnt' matter to me - without a point of reference you would never know.

I will try to remember to measure the round non-faded spot on my window when i get home. Previous owner must have peeled it of.

I measured the one I have again, it's 3.75" in diameter, just a little bit bigger, but I don't think it will be noticeable. Taking a close look, it does look like a pretty authentic image, it's the 1983 version. I'll know better when I peel it off the paper and stick it to the glass.

I'm pretty sure I got the sticker on ebay a couple years ago and I think this is the ad, but I also remember it being shipped from Puerto Rico and this looks like a US vendor, so not sure:

$105 for a STICKER? Yikes! I could make one on my own for a fraction!!

What process do they use that they are so proud of?

They do a lot of one off weird decals and such for old gassers and muscle cars. Having a guy sit down and perfectly replicate one without destroying the original was the expensive part imo.

Is there still any interest in these?

I have the ability to produce them if folks are interested, I could do a run.

Whats the price? I have interest, but honestly I couldn't see myself spending too much on a sticker.

I scanned this and the other linked thread, but couldn't determine if anyone had gotten a really good, (properly sized, sharp, etc) source image to work from(?) I have an unused/uninstalled IMSA back glass one. Not sure which year - I'll see if I can dig it up this weekend and I'll post a pic.

My 85 SE still has it. In good shape too. What I do need is the "RX-7" sticker that goes on the rear hatch latch.

I don't think that is a sticker. I think it is painted on.
