The GRAFF Mon...........

Sounds like you are Happy with them wezeles . Been Doing Business with PG since the Early 80's for my Other F Bodys I have had over the Years . As True OEM Replacements , the Decal Sets are not Cheap to Buy , but they are Worth Ever Penny IMO .

Got mine at Decal King, decent set I guess but the wider black stripe was on a red based tape. When I had to pull it on a compound curve the red shows through a bit. Now, a couple years later it's showing more of the red. Not the best setup considering the money spent IMHO. Might try the other guys for this.

Decal King's are GM Licensed, so their quality should be as close to OEM as you'll get.
