...or you could have a company called Tape Works here in the U.S. make up
a set for you.  They do custom stuff and apparently the results are nice.
 The prices are much more reasonable than factory from what I've seen
too.  A number of racers here use them to dress up unpainted and painted
aftermarket body work.

They are on the Web:

http://tapeworks.com.

or you can reach them at:

Tape Works Graphics
9400-13 Ransdell Rd.
Raleigh, NC 27603
U.S.A.
1-800-232-8273 (Toll Free)

(I believe their most up to date catalog is on-line.)  

>From what I've gleaned from previous discussions, the graphics are great
for plastic panels, but their increased thickness compared to factory
graphics will make them less than optimal for gas tank applications. 
Apparently when adhered to the tank and clear coated, a raised surface
can still be detected, regardless of how many layers of clear coat are
applied.  

The usually disclaimers apply:  I'm not affiliated with them but it just
so happens that I'm paging through their catalog, coincidentally, for
another project of mine.  I have yet to use them myself but probably will
soon.

Good luck,
-Pete
