    So after browsing the web for a couple hours the only thing I could find for Subaru Sambar stickers were the AWD/Supercharger sticker(s) which to my surprise everyone wanted an arm and a leg for ~40 USD. After searching the forums I saw others stuck in the same situation. After looking around at local shops most wanted even more to at which point I said fuck it and did it myself. I now present to you my Knock-off Subaru Sambar stickers (see attached).
    The process was simple yet complex at the same time. I started off by taking as close and as centered picture of the existing stickers I had (aka what's referenced in the picture). I then used "Gimp" which is like a free version of photoshop and tooled out all the non needed stuff and fixed the broken letters. This was probably the most time consuming phase as it took ~4 hrs to get it looking as close as possible. The next step was to print the images out on printer paper to verify the images were sizeable/looked good.
    After the vectored files were completed I found out that I had to convert them to .png (meaning I did more work than necessary) and uploaded them into my Cricut Design Space software where I mirrored the image(s) and cut them with the machine. The only real hard part about the next step (putting on the transfer paper) was patients and a steady hand. Sadly, at this point in time both of those skills I was starting to lack. All-in-all the whole process wasn't that bad, but what do you all think? ~6 hr project from start to finish. Lastly, should I redo the super deluxe image as I feel its just slightly too big or not?

    Ye its essentially the same thing I made just way cheaper than $40 by making it myself. Also had to make the templates myself as there doesn't seem to be a place to grab the freely, so might as well just go all the way through with it.

    I bought one of every Sambar decal that was still available from Subaru back a few years ago, and scanned them all to preserve the highest quality I could of each. The scans are on the Sambar Parts Spreadsheet under the Decals tab.
