Just got my VIN decal from ECS today and it is extraordinary. Right color and font. They typed in the VIN number and other manufacturing specifics and it looks exactly like the original. Unfortunately my trunk spare tire decal suffered from too many years in a damp environment(maybe thats why it came off the trunk lid so easily) and there was too much missing for Dave at ECS to make a new template. If anyone has an original 1972 firebird trunk spare tire decal, please take a good digital picture and send it to Dave. With the dimensions from my paper decal and the details from a good picture, he can reproduce an exact replacement. Also need an emissions decal for the core support so anything there would be appreciated as well.

Has anyone had any luck with the decals from Ames? I'm getting ready to order about 8 of them. If they are junk I will wait until the "good stuff" comes out.

I just Fedexed my original 72 455HO emissions decal to Dave at ECS. We will see what the result is very soon. He says it will be an exact duplicate of my original. I will keep you all updated as soon as I see it. Everybody keep your fingers crossed.

Steve:
Please let me know as soon as you see the repro. If they're nice, I'll need at least two. If the A-body decal is the same, then I'll need four. Frank - still need to check the trunk decal on my Formula. I'll try to remember to shoot some pics tonight.

Man, I just don't know where my head is, Frank.
I could have sworn my blue Formula still had it's trunk decal, so I got my digital camera out last night and popped the trunk. Only thing left is the glue pattern!  Sorry!

Here's the preliminary version. It's not finished yet. Dave received my original yesterday and worked 12 hours straight through the night on it. He said this was a challenge because there are at least 7 different fonts in the decal and they were originally produced as reverse silkscreened images on the back of clear mylar, with a black layer, then a white layer for the text. Amazing work. If anyone has any other decals for Pontiacs, Dave needs them and will reproduce them for his catalog of decals. You also get a free one back along with your original.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
