There is a lad on one of the local facebook groups, in australia that makes stickers. Exceptional quality too, here it is pictured

Also of note, assuming you wished to fuck the original backbox off,
you can buy a reprinted one, again, from a guy on the same pages.
here it is on my car, keep in mind my lense is missing as it is Ruined. 274871625_526830102340766_2376039464439953550_n.jpg

I'll have a look, I seen them years ago like £50 a pop wish I'd brought one.
Yeah to say one was shitting a brick getting it out is An understatement

The repro stickers are ok, but they have a few issues.

The silver is too thin so the light shines through. The green is also not quite as dark as the original and too transparent.

I had to use a resistor to tone the brightness down. I also used green silicone bulb covers and stuck some black vinyl sticker to block the light shining though the silver.

It's far better than a ruined one, but personally I wish I had left mine as it was only starting to go funny.

basically the experience every one has, if someone can make a Clear 3d printed lens, they would make a lot of money for them.

A clear lense wouldn't be too hard, it's getting the GT bit right. If someone could make a lense with the GT bit correct, then lighting it from the back would be the easy bit ;)

i have a sticker that is a perfect replication of the GT rear glow badge logo, used to replace it, but could be traced to get a 3d printed lens as accurate as possible
