You have to reproduce the Estes Vampire decals to a level of fidelity that satisfies you, but I must say that if you were selling them and I was looking for duplicate decals for a Vampire, I would consider your current versions of the "EXHAUST" decals good enough--the slight letter spacing difference would come under "Style May Vary Slightly" for me.
