Default Rear bumper font?

I am wanting to cut some vinyl insert letters for the rear bumper on my '95GT
Does anyone know what font and size these are?
Many thanks in advance.

just order them off ebay.... you can get them for about $10 shipped. much easier than cutting them yourself.

Thanks for that. I have heard the ones on eBay are not that great.
I have access to professional cutting equipment to do this. All I need is the font type.

BTW, I am in New Zealand so shipping cost can make it uneconomical to buy from eBay.

oh...that could make a difference. i wouldnt really imagine that it is an actual font that it uses. its probably more of a design that they used. im about to put a photo of the letters into whatthefont.com and see what i come up with.... ok, after putting it in there, it didnt come up with anything that was even a similar match. and that site has a huge library of fonts. the only thing that i could think of you doing would be taking a straight on picture of the bumper and putting that picture into photoshop and cropping it and making decals like that.

Thanks again. You have just given me the answer.

Scan a pic then import into AutoCad, trace over, save as DWG then import into cutter software, and cut. No worries.
Only thing then is to get the size correct, trial and error stuff.

Thanks.

Where did you source yours from?
I was thinking of going brushed stainless.
