The OEM thing is over $600-700, it’s insane.
Don't you have all-risk insurance? It's exactly for cases like this when clearly this is a work of some vandal on a parking lot :sunglasses:
The oem stripe is better quality than multi-part from autodesign.shop which has slightly different dimensions and the matte surface is different too (closer to smooth FJG than rough surface version on other paint colours).

My understanding is the decals are only going to last 5 years before needing replacement anyway.
That's doubtful, maybe if you park outside it in the sun all year long and have the car submitted to lots of salt etc.
It surely has an UV protection layer but putting ceramics coating on it is a must for long term protection. For sheltered and coated garage queens no reason not to last for decades.

I do have insurance, but since it’s not my daily, I opted for an $800 deductible.

I looked on on the Ford website they had about every sticker, but the Mach one.
It would be good for some of us to know where to get a high-quality replacement.

Decal part numbers may make it easier to look up. On most Ford parts sites look up the part numbers under repair parts. All three are showing available on the Levittown site with the Black/Orange being the most expensive at $778.14 and the other two listed at $660.68 each.

I was able to partially recover the sticker, no way I’ll pay those prices 😱.

The guys that wrapped the car did some magic, including some machine polishing and some other liquids. Matte damage got a little shiny but I can live with it!

It should have happened to me if karma were paying attention. My day bought a new 1962 Chevy Nomad station wagon. Me, at a ripe old 4 years old, picked up a 4 inch wide paintbrush he was using on another project. I used that brush and the black paint to put stripes on his new car....:facepalm:

The story as related to me (about my future) was "Wouldn't it be easier to throw this one out and make a new one versus fix this one?"
