The NOS RWB filters that have the stamped "M" (usually cost around $300.00) can be redecorated with the green paunt and are VERY close to perfect. Other late model filters can be decorated and have the M added, but most I've seen have noticable shape differences to an educated eye.
*Ron, I know your friend too, great and talented guy.
Yes he is Scott!! I hear what is being said but to me I'd rather have a non perfect nice reproduction since I drive my cars. Even if someone is silly enough to shell out big money for NOS and have to push his car in and out of a trailer someone is going to walk up to him one day and point out that it's NOS not assembly line correct!
