I'm looking for a set of NOS or NEW Anti-Theft decals for my 1990 Formula. I'm pretty sure I need the ones pictured below (I borrowed the image from a thread on here). My factory cassette radio does not indicate anti-theft on the face, so I'm assuming these would be correct:
Yea, I saw those, but I'm pretty sure my 90 should have the ones that don't mention radio anti-theft. I think it's supposed to have the ones that just say: Protected With A Vehicle Anti-Theft System like the ones on my 89. My factory radio UM6 does not indicate anti-theft on it unless it is and does not say it on the face?
The radios with Delco-Loc would have the other sticker. I remember ordering the normal VATS stickers at the dealer, and they weren't that expensive. Unfortunately, I think if you found someone looking to sell a set now, they'd have the NOS tax. I'm not sure how many sets I bought, they're in an envelope around here somewhere. I figured that someday I might want them, and the originals got removed when I had the windows tinted. I doubt I'd choose the anti-theft decals over tint, but IDK, maybe anti-theft decals will be the next 6-figure detail to have at Barrett-*******.

Cool. If you find that envelope, let me know. I'm not afraid of a little NOS tax. I don't have to have them I suppose, but after stripping the crappy tint off of it and seeing how much better it looks without tint, I've decided not to re-tint it and put those decals back on it for that more stock appearance. I don't buy cars to re-sell. So, you won't see this Formula at any auction as long as I own it. Someone would have to offer me stupid money to sell it because it's the nicest Firebird I've ever owned and I wasn't even looking for another one when I bought it!
Here is stock 90 Formula. Not sure what radio is in it, but it has cassette and equalizer and power antenna. I had taken this photo because I noticed the ones on ebay were different. wasn't sure if I was recalling correctly so I grabbed a photo for direct compare. Did you ruin your stickers when you pulled off the tint?

Yes, those should be the correct ones! I did not ruin mine, they were never there. Probably removed before tinting and tossed.
Here is the radio, just in case. Back in the day, I was quite the car audiophile. When I bought the car figured one of the first things I'd do was rip out this crappy system, luckily got busy and never did it, probably would have lost it in in the many moves I had made. Fast forward modern day, and for your Sunday drive you can just Bluetooth to a big wireless speaker in the back seat, no need to remove! What is the other kind of radio that was put into the cars that created a different Theft decal ?
Interesting, never studied the radios in these machines. Not a whole lot of info out there from what I could find. This thread seems to think Delco-Loc is not CD specific. Is that not the case? https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/car-...-vs-delco.html

There's a Delco-Loc cassette deck, but it wasn't offered in 90-92. The only options were the cassette deck with treble/bass, cassette deck with 5-band, and CD, only one of those three with Delco-Loc is the CD.
Best bet at this point for getting a set, other than diligently watching Ebay or hoping to get lucky on here, would be to take some nice clear photos and look for someplace that can reproduce them for you.
