So here's a full sized version that will print at the correct 3.5" diameter at 300 dpi with the 1985 in outline script. And a final sticker version on the car.

 

Nice! Is your 1983 sticker an original Jim?

 

No, that was one of those eBay replicas made from a scan or a macro photograph. But it looks like even the original sticker has a rather crude resolution that seemed to improve into the mid 80s. Maybe the designers finally starting using the original Macs with desktop publishing software!

Oh, I need to read better, here's 1985 in nonitalics!

 

Thank you so much! How do I get one?

Also, can you tell us what color paper we need to duplicate original?

Thanks for all your effort...much appreciated here

 

Stupid question, but this just dawned on me......

Wouldn't an 85 SE come with an 84 sticker or does it depend on build date?

 

Everyone I know of that has an original IMSA sticker it is one year older than their car. 1985 got a 1984 sticker, 1984 got a 1983 sticker, etc...

 

I have to order some more clear vinyl adhesive sheets and then I'll make one for you.

 

Looks much better without italicizing. Wonder how well the ink would hold up in the sun though (for people who park outside)

 

I'd be down for like 5 if you do. Just PM me with the price when ready.

 

I'd love to have one, or two if that's easier for whatever reason. I have a 1985, so I guess I need a 1984 IMSA sticker.

How do I go about ordering?

And, I'm impressed! Nice work!

 

I'll pm you guys when my supplies come in. Meanwhile I'm not sure about this version of the 1984 sticker:

 

Thanks!

I'll guess I will need an 84 sticker then.

Here I go being a pain again.....

can you make the years a little bolder and compress "1984" vertically a bit.



Here is an original:

I think this is better ....

 

Just FYI. I'm not trying to replicate a specific year sticker to a specific year of car. I'd rather see something that more just celebrates and acknowledges the acomplishments overall. I'd rather see a sticker that incorporates all the championships won in that period. 80-85. I guess to SA owners, that would probablly be more attractive since these cars never came with them. They paved they way for the following years to get them!

 

Now you got it. Nice job!

Count me in for a couple.

Is adhesive side on front ( for inside mounting) or back for (outside mounting)?

Again, I am sure I speak for the forum when I say thanks for taking the time to put these together.

 

Adhesive front, so mount inside window like the originals.

 

Ok, truly the last time I fiddle with the designs. I think they are as faithful as they will be.

 

I think they're great. To have an original is special, but for those of us who merely want to celebrate the 1st gen, the 1985 sticker is perfect.

 

I need an 84 sticker for my 85. Pm me a price with shipping to 95204 please

 

I second cookboy's comment. Thanks for doing this - and front adhesive to boot! Woot!!!

 

Jim can you send a link to the vinyl you are using for these? I put together a custom sticker for my 85 and wanted to print it out with front face adhesive...

 

I would like some of the 84 ones as well, could you pm me a price. Thanks

 

I'm always surprised how well the original's hold up after 30+ years. When I bought my SE, the paint was shot but the sticker looked great!
