    Said another way: are all the reproduction stickers roughly the same? I ask because the original factory stickers were somewhat thick and distinctive. The last time I purchased a reproduction set they seemed thin and overly shiny, if that makes sense.

    It’s a very minor thing. I was just curious if someone had an opinion they would share before I replace them.

    Thanks,

    AASE make some but don't know whether they're thick or thin, but I'm also interested because I need some too for my US - RoW conversion.

    The description sounds promising however.

    Carbone also makes them but I haven't seen them to say they are decent.

    Here's a comparison of the set I got from SMC for my '71. In my opinion, the fonts and lines are too thick

    Yeah, the size of triangles and the shape of the decals themselves are als different. SMC decals are wider and the tips are not as narrow and tight-fitting as the originals.

    I used the Aase decals last year and while not exact, they were OK. I still have my old busted clamshell and plan on delicately lifting my old stickers and trying to re-attach them whenever I get my targa back. I actually spoke to some folks at Porsche classic and they were aware of the poor quality of reproductions out there having been moaned to over the years. Sorry for the photo, but I don't have the car on me and this is at least picturing the Aase stickers (and yes, the interior is completely disassembled right now).
