The GTUs: Who has one, who needs fender stickers?
 
Short version:

After saying "Later, later... Later..." for the longest time, I ended up in the position of being able to only buy ONE(1) OEM GTUs fender sticker. The Last one avaliable from Mazdatrix. This was a few years back.

In all truthfulness, AFAIK, I am the ONLY person left in America who has an unused GTUs sticker.

This doesnt just suck for those of you who own sticker-less GTUs's..
It fucking sucks for me.
Whats the point of one damn sticker when I might need two because of a paint refresh????
..Took waaaaayyy too long to place my order, but I digress..



LONG VERSION: The point of this thread:

Obviously I now need to make copies of this sticker.
Not just ANY copies, but actual "True-to-OEM" stickers that, HOPEFULLY, even have the textured "Dot dimple graphics" of the OEM sticker. (Those who know what I am talking about, I bet like the sound of that.)


Soooo... Im in the process of finding that one special person who can make a copy of the sticker just as I want. Obviously I want it done locally so I dont have to worry about someone stealing my damn fucking one sticker.
Im trying to keep it cheap, but Im more interested in "Total OEM style" vs cost.


Plain and simple... Are there any GTUs owners who want a new set of stickers?

Realized I better offer help to the community instead of focusing on my own needs.

I know its a long shot, what with the fact that they maybe only made a total of like, 3000 GTUs's... and theres probably less than 3000 FCs in GENERAL on the roads... But I have the offer on the table anyway.



So please let me know if this interests you. Obviously I will end up making stickers for myself, (And one other lucky person who realized the severity of this situation and sent me a random PM last year), so.. Other than us two, I dont know how much people really care to have new GTUs stickers, Hence this thread.

:nod:

I don't care about the stickers anymore. Mine are in good shape anyways.
AFAIK they made less than 1,000 GTUs' according to what people have said in the past. They were a sales flop.

a sticker guy wont charge a lot for them, and once that has been made he can easily make more. You can see if he will give you the vector file when he is done- this way any decal guy can make them as well incase he goes out of business

scrapp 07-15-13 04:01 PM

I think at max they created 2500 or so GTUs's between 89-90.
Wasnt so much a flop as it was Mazda counting their chickens before the eggs hatched. (They effectivly pumped out a bunch of bodies expecting to put NA 20bs in them... When that idea didnt pass emmisions (Surprise.) they dumped a bunch of NA motors in them to move all the sitting inventory. Hence why Mazda offically says they never created the GTUs.)

Ok maybe thats considered a flop.



Either way, I want to show off my floppy pride and joy how it came from the factory. ;)
I think it might be cheaper if I get a few sets made vs a case-by-case order, AND its helping others out.
I truly am interested in helping some people out, even if its just a few people, it would be very cool.

You can corner the market on gtu decals

Landon303 07-17-13 11:48 AM

Woohoo! I'm almost tempted to say I want 4, you know, in case I get ANOTHER GTUs lol

Brigdh 07-17-13 05:05 PM

I'd be interested in TurboII stickers....

GuiltySoul 07-17-13 06:23 PM

Gxl stickers lol

deftones1868 07-20-13 07:33 AM

turbo ii are on eBay $20 for the whole sticker set.

I would totally corner the market for the GTUs stickers... put em on eBay I'm sure you'd get random sales from all the world.. I know I buy stuff from all over if I can't find it in US.

Hiko 07-20-13 05:44 PM

I'd be in for a set.

rotorhead_izzy 07-21-13 03:37 PM

i'd be in for 2 sets of GTUs stickers

Moksha 07-22-13 03:28 AM

Yeah I also want a set of GTUs stickers. I really don't trust the local graphics shop. I feel I would end up hating them anyway and throwing them away :(. So please reproduce these bad boys in white

RCCAZ 1 08-19-13 11:04 AM

I don't even own a GTUs, but may be looking to buy one in the future. With that being said, count me in for a set on the pure speculation that I "may" buy one!

1stcar89GTUs 08-19-13 06:05 PM

Aw man i wish i had a NA 20b in my gtus lol but my stickers are in great shape however would like a pair anyway just in case

rotorhead_izzy 08-19-13 06:12 PM

I'm interested in at least 2 sets if you can do then in the $30 range i'd be inclined to buy more

rotary#10 08-20-13 09:48 AM

I would be up for a set. Both red though.
GTUs is just a bit European spec in performance according to the short article in the book " RX7 Mazda's rotary engine sportscar by Brian Long. On pg. 109 paragraph 3 to pg.110.
"
Don't ask how I know a lot about GTUs. I was raised around a guru of Fc's and he had several GTUs and I bought 2 of them from him, although one is an S5 turbo now. The other is in progress in being restored after sitting 8 years in storage.

Red95FD 09-12-13 09:47 PM

When you get a price quote, let me know, I would like a set even though mine are still perfect. I saw a gtus at a shop recently and guess what was sitting on the front seat? A brand new set of original red gtus stickers. rare indeed!

tokamike 09-12-13 11:18 PM

Thanks for working on this, I'd be in for two sets!

~Rev Free~ 09-15-13 12:05 AM

Any real estimates on when this is going to happen?

jm526 09-17-13 11:32 PM

I might be in for a set. I found a Black GTUs in an impound lot.hopefully I can convince the wife and the owner of the impound to let me buy it off him. But I'll be interested in a set

scrapp 09-18-13 07:51 AM

Im still keeping you all in mind. Can yall mention if you want white or red? I need to have a count of how many I should look into making of each color.

We all know life gets busy, I'm looking for freetime to make a vector image of the scanning I took. Make a test print and make sure its the right size... then I'm waiting to hear from a connection to hopefully get that local dude with the clear vinyl to make them... Still have not gotten a price quote from anyone, but Im sure once I prove I did the hard work and made a vector image ready for printing, I should get more interest from someone to help me out.

rotorhead_izzy 09-18-13 08:15 AM

I would need a set or 2 in white. I think that's the color decal that goes on the blaze red exterior

88tII_Fc3s 09-19-13 09:21 AM

would like a set of just GT ones in white,
