  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    The problem is that many of the people selling them do a poor job with the reproduction. If they offer to include your specific info (VIN and date) they also often use the wrong font and locations because they aren't experts on all the various brands and might do it like an Olds, or Chevy which are all slightly different. I finally just had to start making my own after being so disappointed with the ones I bought.

    Here is an example:

    This is the original on a '70 GS we have and you can then compare it to the one I just created myself. then below you can also see the disappointing decal i got from Jim Osborne which had the wrong shape, wrong size wrong color, etc. To match the font style of the original Buick decal I had to mix 4 or 5 different fonts in MS Publisher.

    Just depends on how picky you want to be and if you want to spend hours making it. Most people seem to be content to just have a decal on the door even if it doesn't match the original. Honestly no one will ever see it anyway so I can understand their point of view.
