Restoration Question regarding oem labels

Hi guys....I'm in the middle of a complete restoration of my 83 GSL and I'm not sure what to do about the oem label/stickers on the door jambs and in the trunk area under the spare tire, etc. I really don't want to paint around them but there's also no way to remove them and put them back in one piece. I really want to keep the car as close to original as I can. Does anyone know of a way to get new ones? Either originals or replicas? Thanks for your help!

If you are that serious, I would take very high res pictures of them and mark locations and see if
you can scan and duplicate or have someone do it. I know they do this for classic american iron all the
time but the demand for our cars just isn't there yet.

DOH! I forgot about Back Dragon. They have most of em, not cheap.
