Aero Rear Bumper Decal Options?

So I noticed that my rear valance decals are peeling pretty badly, Does anyone know if anyone is still making anything interesting as a replacement? I know ECS has the OE ones still available, but honestly I think they're pretty cheesy looking and they obviously don't last. My car has the carbon exterior trim, so I was thinking about having some new decals cut match from a carbon print vinyl but wanted to get some input from others before I went that route.

Thanks.

That's pretty sweet looking, I just don't have a place to remove the bumper and paint the blacked out area.

We offer replacements as the factory ones don't last.
