928 Porsche Sales Decal questions??

Has anyone else purchased decals from a company called "928 Porsche Sales"? I purchased a complete set of circa '73 Carrera RS decals and I question the quality and the exact match to the real deal. Perhaps I am too anal but the cuts look a little different compared to some I've seen posted on this web site; especially around the "e" and the last "a". Who is the other guy that sells them? Is it "Mikez" The company won't take them back so I may end up trying them anyway or place them on e-bay. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

buster73, Is that an original Porsche decal or a reproduction?

That first one is a poor reproduction. It looks awful.

I bought it in 1984 to put on a real RS (RS were almost cheap back then), but the car was sold before we had a chance to install them. I think back then there were no reproductions on the market, pretty sure it was NOS but can not really confirm as it was so long ago.

That one from 928 is really bad. MikeZ has better/closer to original for sure.

Thanks guys for your comments. The one from 928 does look like $hit compared to the original. I will try Mikez. Looks like I got screwed over by 928! Buyers beware. ...Guenter, bet you wish you still had that RS.. :-) -Darryl
