Best place to buy factory decals?

Post by SlimGrim » Mon May 23, 2016 1:32 am

Someone completely debadged my samurai before I bought her and it hasn't really bothered me until now, I'd really like to get hold of the original "Suzuki" "samurai" and the "4x4" stickers in black for the tailgate :) where is the best place to find these as I'm really struggling to find a website or eBay seller that has them?
Cheers

If money is no object and are items still available, your local Suzuki dealer parts is the best bet. I'd hazard a guess at £30-£50 a pop? :shock:

Or, look on Ebay (worldwide search) like here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181942104785

Alternatively, you could use one of the many vinyl decal firms, many on Ebay and specify the dimensions (you could ask a Samurai member here).
I've had good results if you email them a pic, they can match fonts very accurately these days. Look to pay between £5-£8 each.

As a former custom MTB builder, I've also used an English guy living in France now who does good work, here's his website:

He made up an LJ 80 decal for me from a pic I sent.

Good Luck!

I've used Dan the 'stickerman', very nice guy to deal with. For the anal retentive folk his Suzuki sticker in that listing has two slightly different (couple of mm) sized 'U' letters!

Also he can do any color but only the Black is available in Matt finish. Very fast turnaround with item sent next day, 1st Class post in a cardboard envelope.

Here's a pic of mine I ordered from him (not the 4 Wheel Drive one, that's another story, came from Columbia, haha!).
