I just received a nice surprise in email yesterday from 87GT2M6. He was able to go to the junkyard, and get a high quality image of a 4.9l Emissions Sticker. From that he created the sticker in Photoshop. He sent that to me to have turned into a sticker, and gave permission to use it with sticker sheets for others. This is from a 1987, and I am not sure how many other years are similar or the same.
He did a great job on the sticker, Here is what it look like:
The text in RED can be altered to what you want it to say. He used the area for a personal code he uses for his car.

I've been looking for new stickers for a long while. Do you have the VIN stickers for the fender panels? I'd love to be able to paint everything this time around rather than masking the stickers.
How much do you charge for custom stickers?
As to the misspelling, did anyone look at the original GM sticker and see if maybe it was misspelled there? I find it interesting that two people working independently made the exact same mistake on the exact same sticker.
BTW I think there's room for more than one sticker maker on the forum. No need to get upset.

Up to this point, I have been using a "Guillotine" type paper cutter, and a punch dye to to do the rounded corners that some of the stickers have. The punch dye is not as precise as I would like, and a couple of the corners are slightly different in the amount that they are rounded. Also, trying to get the same exact amount of white space border around some of the stickers is challenging when using the Guillotine style cutter that I am using.
I have been looking for a solution for a while now, and finally found one! I will soon be getting a plotter / cutter to cut the stickers out professionally, and exactly the same each and every time.
If you are looking to order a sticker set, I recommend that you wait a couple of weeks before you do.

I am sorry to say, that I will not be doing any of the VIN stickers for the Fiero. There are just too many legal issues with it. HERE IS AN ARTICLE where felony charges were brought up against a man, for having a counterfeit VIN tag on his car. It was even THE CORRECT VIN NUMBER FOR THE CAR, but not the EXACT original.

It depends on what is involved really. If you supply the artwork, 100% ready to go would be less that if I have to design it. Also it depends on the amount of materials needed.

It was really just a coincidence. The original sticker is correct, and when I re-typed it, just had a brief dyslexic moment!

Ok, Santa was good to me this year I received a nice little tool to help me with the reproduction of the stickers. It is an electronic dye cutting machine, called a Silhouette. It is capable of cutting out some very high quality stencils, lettering, artwork and just about any other graphic or logo. For now, I am just putting it to good use cutting out the Fiero Reproduction Stickers. I purchased a crimping tool that I have used up to this point to round the corners on the stickers that need it. This worked pretty good, but some of the stickers have a slightly more or less rounded corners. With the punch, I could only do the one style of rounding.
This makes very precise cuts, and does it exactly the same time and time again. Now I have to fulfill and ship the 3 sticker orders that I put on hold, with their Ok, till I got this machine
Here is a brief video of the stickers being precision cut:

Unfortunately I can not do the engine info with the belt diagram. It takes hours to do the artwork for the stickers, and selling one or 2 of them is just not productive. The 4.9 emissions sticker above, was donw by 87GT2M6. If you can supply the artwork, as he did for the 4.9, I can make it into a sticker for you. As for the RPO sheet, it can be customized in any way that you would want. You can fill out the form with any of the codes you want, and in the notes, or via email, let me know anything else that you would want added / changed from the factory one.

I'll get you the belt diagram in a week or two. I'll definitely place an order, and feel free to consider it "open source" if any others are interested.
Thanks, Greg

Very Good! I really do hate saying no, and hope you understand there just is no way that I can do custom emission stickers, and other complicated drawings. I can easily change text and minor details on any of the stickers to customize them for people.
Ok, 5 sticker sets to be dropped off at the post office on Monday morning.

Ok, I have been working on the C&C sticker for a while now. The C&C logo was especially a pain with all the compound curves and such to recreate..... Finding the strange font that was used for the serial number was unsuccessful, so I used HighLogic's Font Creator to make a custom font with just those numbers in it. I kept the sticker on the "back burner" so to speak, as I was not sure hot to match the metallic look of the original. Well after doing some more research, I think I found a very close, if not exact match for the silver foil material that the original sticker was printed on.
I received the silver foil UPS today, and it looks spot on! I am now ready to test print, as soon as I can get the exact size of the sticker. I need the exact height and width. I have designed the sticker to scale from a good photo of an original, so I just need the exact measurements to scale it down to the correct size for printing.
Here is the sticker on a plain white background: (The black border is slightly wider, and the correct amount will be cut off on the dye cutting machine after they are printed.)
