ECS does great work. Very precise reproductions. I have used them on my GM cars for the door decal. You give them the VIN info and they send you the finished decal.

Looks like they do date code etched glass too - very cool

Yes they do glass date coding. I got my windshield there & I also bought one of the decal before I knew it wasn't needed on my car. Both quality work...Joe

I had one done 12 years ago by a guy in Arizona, but I can't find the envelope now it came in now. I tried to locate him a couple years ago, when I bought my current '70 Chevelle and couldn't find him. This ECS will be getting my order for one for my current car. Thanks for bringing this up...
I do have a blank I got from The Parts Place, but it's too aqua colored.

Are you guys using the date on the trim tag for the decal or are you using the delivery date from the NCRS report?

It only displays the month and year, actual day isn't on it. Trim tag info should be good.

I had a couple of these done 8-9 years ago by a guy that was doing decals for many high end restorations back then. He actually types them and used a font for VIN that was a really close match to my original. I sent him a picture of my original to copy. He charge $25 back then.
Not sure if he's still doing them but his name is Steve and his email is [email protected]

ECS does a decent job too but they charge $50-60. ECS will do a scan of your original if you send them a picture.

Thanks everyone. I'll have to look into this further. The original is long gone so no photo opportunity, and from what I've read it appears they need some sort of proof of ownership, which I understand, but I'm not clear on what they will need or how. One thing I'm not too keen on is mailing in any sort of original documentation on the car, so hopefully there is some other way to show proof of ownership that is satisfactory.

I think I sent them a copy of an insurance card....Joe

I found the envelope with the door decal for my previous 1970 SS Chevelle. I had it made by R.R.Westcott in Scottsdale, AZ. in 2003. Anyone know of him and if he is still around ?

Curious if anyone on here ended up with the car. Last I saw, it had been restored and was for sale in the Fargo, ND area 2-3 years ago. Fathom Blue with black interior. TH400 in a console and power door locks. It should have come with Canadian docs that I passed on to the new owner.
If someone has it, I have a compliance decal for it.
