Default 69 Tire pressure decals - GREAT REPRODUCTIONS - ECS

posted this on CRG figured many here would appreciate the info as well.

69 Tire pressure decals have been a pet peeve of mine as none were on the correct material or had correct printing.
IMHO - ECS has produced a great repro on the correct substrate -metalized paper - (beer bottle label stock)
I ordered a few DX's (Z28, double COPO, and JL8 cars) and today based on the DX ordered a few DW's (SS).
First photo is of the product I received.
Second is their comparison of an original vs theirs vs what is typically available.

Very nice. These are very hard to replicate mainly due to the paper. I have seen some REALLY bad aftermarket ones and have had a member reproduce me some really nice ones.

I am pleased to report that the DW is as nice as the DX...

ECS has some really good reproductions. I bought a door VIN decal for my 1971 ElCamino and complete set of VIN and tire pressure for my 84 z28.
Very happy with them. I saw at MCACN they had some of the inner door decals for 1969 Camaro window warranty stickers. Ones that say the 3 letter code for plant and 2 digit code for week. (LOS xx or NOR xx) The example they had was for a Firebird LOR.

Its good to see they got these right, I will be ordering some.

I had ECS do the reproduction labels for the IROC restoration. They are without a doubt one of the best.

Stupid question...
Why would the REAR occupants be reduced to 2 for bucket seats ?
is that an error ?

Bucket seats weigh more than a bench

I don't understand why any company would create a "Reproduction" that doesn't look like the original and bring it to Market.... maybe because I'm such a picky bastard this is this is reason I create/make so many things myself! That sticker on the right is an absolute joke!

That looks like a typo. The original looks like 5 total, 3 in the rear. Repro says 5 total, but 2 front and 2 rear (total of 4!). Oopsie....

The original owner of my 67 ended up asking the original supplier for the tire pressure sticker. Based on the date I assume there were no re-pops. Sorry for the glare.
