VIN Tag
As you can see from the 'before' photos, the stickers in the jamb had been abused over the years.
I worked with a company ECS Automotive Concepts on a new VIN and Catalyst sticker. It was not inexpensive, but as you can see, it is absolutely spot-on. (www.ecsautomotive.com)
The paint code and BARcode stickers were made at home on adhesive vinyl that is suitable for printing on an ink jet printer. It is colorfast and waterproof. I made both of them in powerpoint and hit the print button...and I'm real pleased with how they turned-out.

Looks very nice!
What did you need to provide them with? I need a new VIN sticker for my GT project but they told me they could not send me one unless I was a certified repair shop. Any info would be great, as I am painting my car next month.
Cheers!

Called them up, sent a photo of the damaged sticker in the jamb (the one shown) and ordered the VIN and catalyst ($149 and $79, respectively). They were very accommodating. It's only a sticker, and not the VIN plate, so I suspect that there's no liability in play. I was prepared to send a scan of the title to the car if needed.
I did ask them about doing the paint code sticker, but their creative team demurred on it. Seems pretty simple. If you like, PM me your email address and I'll send over the Powerpoint file that I used to make it and the BARcode.
