Default Source for 951 "Turbo" fender script?

Didn't see any on E-bay last time I looked, anyone know a good source for a quality decal and not some reproduction that will fade within a year? Thanks.

Sunset Imports sells them for a good price (though with shipping I don't know if you'd save much over the dealer.). I looked into this a little over a year ago and the dealer had them for about $100.

The part number for the silver decal should be 944 559 223 01 .

Thanks Daniel. There was a full moon last night, so I'm hoping the stars are beginning to align.

I think it was eightyonemotorsports that had a group buy on them a while back... $80 + shipping IIRC.

The ebay decal can be found here . The price is too good to pass up, yet I never bid on it.

I saw those Jesse, but they are a reproduction and I don't want ones that will fade out. I can't say for sure they will, but I don't have any information on them. It also says each letter individually cut. Does that mean you have to assemble the word Turbo letter by letter? Alot cheaper then the $101 the link Wes gave me is asking. I'm going to check with the local P-car dealer next week.

For $24, they might be worth trying. As long as it's die cut vinyl, it shouldn't fade too much. I very much doubt it's letter by letter assembly. I'm probably going to order one and see what it looks like.

What I like about the OEM decal is that it is perforated so that the background is the cars color. There are more perforations on the left side to give it the fade effect.

It looks like the ebay decal is shaded instead.

Well I have replicated it(not off of an original file) if anybody wants to experiment and take the file to a vinyl shop or has a vinyl plotter...cost, get me one
And if you want a Rennlist vinyl guy 35thSLP is your guy...he may have a better version.
Like I said this is a replica(no fade-unless airbrushed)
Or printed on clear vinyl...


This is not the print file.

Thanks doc. Let me know how it looks. I still like the original, and as pointed out by Daniel, has the correct fade. I'm hoping to do better then $101, but maybe if things work out () I can try to get another group buy form Wes' link.
