I ordered the "pontiac" decal for the tail lights of my 91 GTA from them a while back. They are just like original quality and easy to put on. I was real happy with them.
Zeppelin 5000,
That is great news, I can't wait to get them! Thanks for letting me know about your satifaction. Been thinking about ordering them for a while and finally decided to give it a shot.
I've ordered from Autografics twice when I owned my 3rd gen. I got the "Pontiac" windshield banner. 3 birds for the sail panels and for the front. The rear hatch bird and rear T.P.I Decal.. All came within a week of ordering and all were of very high quality. Never ripped, very easy to apply. Came very well packaged. All in all, I was very happy with Autografics and recommend to to anyone I know looking for decals for muscle cars.
"Chuck Hughes" stole $50 from me. I bought a full set of IROC decals from him online and wanted to exchange for a different color. He sent an e-mail stating that was also ok so I sent them back and never got anything from that shiester and I assume my e-mail is on his ever growing blocked list it seems because I never got a response.
Order it from DecalKing, you might actually recieve the decals and they are GM liscenced as well.
All TGO members should not do ANY business there, just look at all the refrences. I wish I would have read them first.
I just purchased a set over EBay back on Sept 29th and they finally arrived on 21 Oct. The quality is fairly decent and I will have to compare it against the originals on my 2nd Iroc out for a tranny rebuild. If you order over EBay I suggest immediate follow up and confirmation after my 3 day trek of negatives emails after reporting that it hadn't been rec'd. The guy reported a nonpayment to cover his tracks and couldn't provide a valid tracking number after then blaming the post office . Somehow it magically showed up 48 hrs later after a complaint was filed. The package was sent priority but dropped in a mailbox so it wouldn't be scanned in to confirm what day it left Odessa but paypals & EBay saw thru the smoke and seen that he had only created a shipping label on 10 Oct. My post office did it's job and scanned it when it got to SC on 21 Oct. Their policy is to scan everything that is barcoded for accountability to the customer as to where it can be tracked per USPS website. I am only posting this as an experience dealing with this vendor and you can judge for yourself. After further research on this site it seems that he was on EBay previously as a powerseller under a different identity. I wonder why? I will say look at his current ratings and treatment towards folks who have complained because of maybe a minor mistake on either part and look how it turned out. Beware a few of the sellers are using the nonpayment rating to backblast the buyer who complains. It is a vendors abuse tool now instead of an enforcement tool!!
Thanks for the follow up and please send me the link to the vendor review! I wish I had've stopped by here in Sept before I ordered my kit. By the way I am an old Virginian too!! Retired Military and a DoD contractor now for the Navy in SC!!
I must confess that even after reading all of these replies I still went ahead and ordered the tailight "PONTIAC" for my '92. I was prepared for the slo-oo-oow delivery time and it was all that and then some.
But other than that they were a decent product and relatively easy to put on. FWIW I took the decal to a couple graphics places and both said they would duplicate it for about $15 per and about $9-10 for a run of a dozen or more.

I wish I would have known all of this negative feedback before I ordered from him. I placed my order on 10/19/06 and as of today I still have not received the decals that I paid for. I called the post office & gave them the tracking # that paypal sent me & they said that it has not reached their facility. It looks like he created a label on 10/25 but that does not mean that it was mailed that day. The post office said that if the sender mailed it Priority 2-3 day mail on 10/25 that I should have received it on 10/27.
Thanks for the follow up! I suggest you initiate a dispute to protect your ratings! I lost my 100% rating over this guys BS! I will tell you the game! He will start with the "You didn't follow instructions and email his so called shipping dept or he will claim nonpayment like he did me to gain time to produce a kit and then drop it in a mail box so the local post office wont scan the priority shipping label he created as you have already discovered! It may then show up 2 days later as u suggested! He will then play the blame game on the post office as always! I complained to EBay about it but they did nonthing and he just burned another new guy on EBay the same way! Bottom line is the guy does 20 transcactions a month on average and can't keep accountability of them! Sad eh! Read his feedback and you will see the same pattern of BS!! Negative feedbacks against the buyers, as I told the guy in my dispute! There is always money to be spent but not money to be made!! Good luck and hopefully you wont bite the bullet like I did for complaining about P-poor customer service!! Be Safe!! Open a dispute first and watch the BS begin!
Yup, I ordered two decals from him and I got one very late. The other is nowhere to be found. Thankfully it was only 10 bucks. So, you might wanna be careful when ordering from this guy. You just don't end up getting them I am not going to pursue him, hoping that my ws6 symbol shows up.
Just put on my 92 formula decals from autografics.com and I am very satisfied. Delivery took about a week and a half. My only complaint would be that the door decals are not replicated to be identical to the stock ones. The stock ones are almost transparent for the top half and solid on the bottom while the ones from autografics are just solid. They do have the correct font though. Since it was 1/4 the cost of phoenix graphics, I can definitely live with it.
