My understanding of those flag stickers is that they were applied by the dealership or at the port of entry. @
AKimball92 are you saying that #0800 with the German flag was actually the 800th X/19 off the assembly line?
Whomever made the stickers did a great job. The numbers are slightly offset, like the originals I have seen on Australian delivered cars. @
AKimball92 having one or two of these stickers made is going to be pretty expensive. If you don't have the software the skills to do the artwork, you'll be paying someone at that company to do the work.
There are two types or vinyl for stickers. One is called Calendar and the other Cast. Calendar vinyl will shrink when solvent based inks are applied. Plus, they will shrink after they are applied. Cast vinyl is the best stuff out there. 3M makes a product called Controltac. It is what people use to wrap cars and trucks. This stuff is really stable and is what I use for the stickers I make. It doesn't shrink.

AKimball92, that plate is made using a process called metalphoto. The black "ink" that is laid down is really durable. In the picture you posted, I see tiny little circles in each of the four corners. Those could be posts on the back of the of the plate. If so, there would be holes in the fender and push nuts holding the plate to the fender. If that's not the case, 3M makes emblem tape that @
Dr.Jeff mentions in his post. If you move forward with the metal plate, you'll also need a set of dies to reproduce the numbers that are stamped on it. You might want to have that ting restored. I've hear there are companies out there that can provide that service.
