NASCAR sticker question

I'm in the process of painting a replica NASCAR body and it's almost complete except for one sticker. It's a vintage Andy's 90 Lumina body with #5 Geoff Bodine Levi Garrett livery. The sticker sheets I used didn't have the AC spark plugs trunk sticker that I've seen in a few of the pictures I used for reference. I'm not asking to purchase this sticker. I was just wondering if this sticker even exists. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've included pics of the Andy's body and two links to examples of the sticker I'm looking for.

I bought a sticker sheet lot off eBay 2 weeks ago and one of the sheets is a Parma brand Levi Garrett one. I haven't received them yet but looking at the auction picture theres no AC spark plugs one on it. So yeah I imagine its from some other sheet.

Yeah these sheets were AutoGraphics. I wonder why both companies left them off.

Possibly due to a licensing issue.

I just did a search on the most popular web based site for selling stuff and found a full decal sheet that has the trunk decal you are looking for. You'll have buy a full sheet of decals that you probably won't use/need, but it does have the trunk decal and a couple round ACs as well.

I've looked around some more and I still can't find one. The only thing I can think of doing is having one made. Anyone know where I could go to have one vinyl sticker made? Is this expensive? Hey SRT, are you on the URC forum also? The reason I ask is there is a guy on there that was selling a #5 Levi Garrett body and he used to use your avatar.

Niether the Autographics nor the Parma decal sheet had that sticker. I think both of those sheets were for earlier Levi Garrett cars. I'm pretty sure one of the sheets had the small circle AC decals.

I used the AutoGraphics sheets and it does have two small AC circle stickers which I placed under the star in front of the rear wheels. I just had one of the rear Levi Garrett stickers lift on me while I was removing the masking tape so I'm gonna have to buy another sheet anyway. I'll use one of the AC stickers and some black vinyl letter's to make the trunk sticker. Thanks everyone for your responses.

Thank you for the compliment. I still have a long way to go to get good at this. This is only the fourth body I've ever painted but I think it turned out all right..
