    Hi All,

    After searching and searching and finding no originals, I decided to make some reproduction versions of the old "PLEASE NO TOUCHA MY BODY" window stickers from the long defunct Ferrari of Los Gatos dealership. The minimum print order was rather high, so I'm offering some for sale to fellow Fchatters who might want one for their cars as well. These were fun stickers that always made me smile when I saw them, and they always added to the magic of the cars for me.

    As I've said previously, I have a soft spot for all things FOLG, as my Dad owned a few cars from there, and technically my first F car came from there as well.

    Based on my memory and a few quick consultations with restorers and friends who have had these stickers, I came up with this sticker. I said it's a "repro", but it's really more of an homage. I intentionally used slightly different fonts from the original in order to have these stickers be easily differentiated from the originals.

    The sticker is 3" tall and just over 2" wide overall, including the clear border. The image size is 2 5/8" tall by about 1 7/8" wide. It is an INSIDE WINDOW sticker, just like the original, with front face adhesive. The back has a semi-opaque white background to make the colour brighter on the front.

    The first two images below are of my repro sticker. The last one is the original for comparison.

    I'm asking $5 per sticker, or $20 for 5 stickers. I'll send them out right away in an envelope via regular USPS service. PM me and let me know how many you'd like, and I'll give you my paypal address.

    Side note: For you graphic design/font geeks who happen to be New Order fans, you may recognize the "Movement' font in my version. :)

    Cool sticker! Where did the dealership apply them?

    Usually seen in the front quarter window on the drivers side. I've also seen them on the rear quarter window on the drivers side on cars that have no front quarter window (like my Mondial coupe). Not sure if there was a method to the madness honestly.
