It's actually a good point that Beast brings up.... The current OE Judging has to evolve every year to compensate for the imporovements in reproduction parts.
Lets take the "NEW" reproduction rear parcel shelf which is soon coming to the market thanks to Dave's efforts at ECS.
Up until this time the current REM parcel shelf was generally used unless you were fortunate enough to have a perfect original, or a NOS one. So...How would the car be scored Would the new repro which is (I assume) an exact copy of the originals score the same as an original (or NOS) one , or would it score the same as an incorrect REM piece?
Same can be asked about the reproduction carpet....I would assume you would score perfect if you had an original perfect carpet or a NOS one.....but how would you score with a exact reproduction carpet from ECS vs a reproduction one from ACC or TrimParts? Would it truly come down to fit and finish? Lets say there were three cars competing ...A,B, and C. A=Perfect original carpet B=ECS's Factory correct carpet C= ACC's basic $100 floor mat
