Before you pull those decals take a LOT of good pictures from dead straight on.......like was posted previously, digital pictures are what the sign shop will need to duplicate them. You will not be able to remove them and keep them from warping unless you know some magical technique I have never seen....

There are two ways of doing them....digital printing a picture of the decal on new decal substrate, or breaking up the decal into its individual colors and cutting each color out of appropriate vinyl. Digital printing is easier to get the decal into a printable file, vinyl cutting takes some software work and computer time to make cuttable files. However the digital printing equipment is hugely complex and expensive, so not all sign guys have access to it. I own a vinyl cutter myself, spent $300 for it years ago. But I don't have the software to convert a photo into a vector file to cut....yet.
