No offense George, but WTF are you talking about, putting two little mom and pop shops out of business? I went to the websites of the vendors you mention and saw nothing even similar to these, no I did not e-mail them.
I looked for stripes like these and did not find them, far as I can tell, you don't sell stripes like this, similar, but not the original stripes. I looked at your website too(I literally just looked again, and according to your website, nothing in your above post is accurate, what is your point?). Maybe you do sell them and have 50 different colors for $25, but does it make sense that one that says "Carrera" rather than "Porsche" is three times as expensive? They would cost the same to produce, both would be about 4" wide by 6' long.
I could not find the stripes I wanted. Happened on a set that had never been installed and were sitting in garage for 25 years. Got them scanned for myself, and offered to make them available to anyone interested for cost, is that really so bad?
Oh, one more thing. You seem like not too bad a guy George, but when you spread misinformation, say one thing and do another, promise to do something and then don't do it, sell someone one thing then ship them something different or nothing at all, people start saying things like, "Auto Atlanta, never forget, never again" and it hurts your reputation. I personally would get pretty upset if I had a large group of disgruntled people talking shit about me, so I don't do things that would make them do that.
A good reputation is a funny thing. It takes years to make, and seconds to destroy.
The license to produce carerra cost them these two ma and pa places from which we buy are good people and are doing the reproductions legally as Porsche does not authorize their stylized script to be reproduced without license.
