Reprint, No. Reproduction, yes. But by most accounts, the reproductions aren't all that accurate.

If you have a Pontiac, the PHS reproductions are pretty damned exact, IMO. I got one for my '86, and it looks perfect and has the right standards and options...

As for Chevy, check out www.window-sticker.com...these are the only people I know of who do them for non-Pontiacs.

Re: Can I get a reprint of my original window sticker?

Speaking of this, Wes on GTASourcepage.com posted his reproduction window sticker for his 1987 GTA:
http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/c...GTAsticker.jpg

Notice this:

1987 FIREBIRD/TRANS AM/FORMULA
5.7 LITER V8 ENGINE
FUEL INJECTION, MANUAL
3 SPD TRANS

FEEDBACK FUEL SYSTEM
350 with a manual 3 speed transmission?

For comparison, this is what an original 1987 GTA window sticker shows:

Minor issue, but a strange one.

Exactly! The reproductions look the part, as long as you don't put them side by side with the real thing.

In all seriousness, how far off are these, really? I mean, the PHS ones for Pontiacs should be dead on...no? My 86 one sure seems accurate...everything makes sense.

They really cant be that far off. I mean unless someones car came stock with something that GM has never heard of , then I see problems .

Re: Can I get a reprint of my original window sticker?

From reading the FAQ's at window-sticker.com, all they do is take the information that you supply them in the form of a vehicle invoice, and use that data to populate the fields on a blank window sticker. They may also refer to copies of original window stickers for similar cars, or look up published info (gas mileage estimates, prices, etc) to fill in the blanks. Any other blanks are guesstimated.

So if you want something that looks like a window sticker, but doesn't tell you anything that the invoice doesn't already tell you, it's right up your alley. If you're looking to expand your library or portfolio on your car with accurate information it's a waste of money and a step in the wrong direction. It'll look the part, but it's not the real thing.

Re: Can I get a reprint of my original window sticker?

I used window-sticker.com (actually called Triple-A Enterprises) for a repro sticker for my car, and I would recommend them.

I think it's a small operation, one guy. He was real nice and easy to work with, but at the time I got my sticker two years ago, he had never had a request for a 1992 Camaro window sticker before. He had the 1992 Chevy blanks, but didn't know what to put in for the standard equipment, and didn't know how to word the options correctly. So I had to help him a bit.

I provided him with my factory invoice (got this from the GM archives), and I looked around ebay until I found a clear picture of an actual 1992 Camaro Z28 window sticker. I emailed him the picture, and this gave him the information he needed to fill in the sticker correctly and use the correct wording.

If anyone gets a repro '92 sticker from him, he should be able to do it now. You can thank me later.

I have been displaying the repro sticker with my car at shows for two years now, including Camaro events, and no one has ever questioned it. With a car like mine, documentation is key. It's money well spent in my opinion.

I've also used the same company and got an exact reproduction of the original on 3 vehicles by sending in my dealer invoice.

Re: Can I get a reprint of my original window sticker?

What good is a window sticker when the car isn't stock and the sticker isn't aged.
So I made my own for my 80ta.
Then I laminated it. I bet at a car show 90% of the people would glance at it and not even pick up on it being 'odd'

No charge for a LS1 in a 80 TA ? Must have been some kind of factory incentive
