Fading "PONTIAC" on '91 T/A tail lights?

Okay, I've seen a few pics of others "91-92 Tail lights and the "PONT" seems to fade more than the TIAC <---or whatever letters they are. Where can I get a replacement sticker for it? Did this decal ever reflect when new?

Thanks.

your 5 liter engine only puts 185 to the wheels? Isn't that a lot of loss considering its like 230 at the crank?

A stock LB9 with an automatic is 205hp, 285ft/lbs from the factory... So he's doing good..

I'm thinking GM has been underrating Fbodies for awhile, not just the LS1's. Like Thirdgen88 said, I have an auto/Lb9 which should have 210hp and 285tq. But converted it's about 230hp and 320tq. Pretty good stuff me thinks.

Now what's up with these stickers?

try this thread. it's not exactly what you are asking, but it's simiular. just go to the bottom of the page and look for LUXOR's posts and pics.
