I understand the reasons why people want a tag. What I don't understand is why people are willing to spend $$$$$ on a reproduction part that they know before they even buy it is wrong.

Do people spend their money so willingly on other wrong parts or do they try to get the best and most accurate reproduction part they can?



You must be joking.

I've spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars on reproduction parts that I had hoped where right but were wrong.

Wiring harness
Gas tank straps
Lenses
Dutchman panel
Decals

Just to name a few.

But let's breakdown a replacement tag into catagories.

1. Made from the original tag
2. Made from the broadcast sheet correctly
3. Made from the broadcast sheet incorrectly
4. Made up from what someone thought
5. Made up to defraud or misrepresent.

We have people on here that think all 5 catagories are bad. I have a hard time with people against #1.

I think we can all agree that #5 is bad.

Personally I'm OK with #2.

For #3 and #4 I would hope that the person would leave off the sequence number so everyone would know it was not accurate - even though those of us with enough knowledge can spot a repo 99 times out of 100
