I create reproduction window stickers for 1964-1979 Pontiacs. My window stickers are far more accurate than anything Pontiac fans have had before. I developed my own forms because other reproductions (that are laminated) use a somewhat generic window sticker blank, and sometimes they cover 3 different years with one form. As owners of high end Pontiac show cars become aware of the fact that their reproduction window stickers are inaccurate, they contact me and I create an accurate window sticker for them that's correct for the specific year, model, and plant where their Pontiac was produced. That being said, my reproduction window stickers are for show, NOT to be used to authenticate or validate anything. Thankfully, we have PHS as the rock solid proof against any dishonesty. But there is no way I can control what people do with a reproduction window sticker once they receive them.
However, on my window stickers, I have a very minor deviation from original that tells me immediately it's one of my reproductions and not an original just in case someone tries to age one of my reproductions. I do not disclose what that deviation is, but I have responded to many people asking if a specific window sticker on a car that's being sold is an original or a repop.
For those opposed to Chevrolet reproduction window stickers and docs, this seems to be a minor issue when you have hundreds of restamped blocks, carbs, rear ends, and all sorts of "date coding" going on with restored Yenkos, COPOS, and LS6 cars. Most high end resto shops have no problem restamping a block or carb to complete a "numbers matching" project.
