Your car doesn't look complete without a steering wheel. Or a headliner. Or the left front fender. Or a fendertag.


A fender tag is not a part of the car so its an inappropriate comparison.

Also, like Bill's example, some are too rusted to put back on a nice resto.


So if its "too rusted" how do you know a "reproduction" tag will be correct?

well, good for you! or bad, depending on your perspective I suppose.

Quote:

I don't argue that down the road the repros will be passed as originals and that is plainly, in my mind, dishonest, immoral, and fraudulent. But, 'legitimate reasoning' is subjective; in your mind my reasoning may not pass your scrutiny. And vice-versa.



So if you agree that the "reproduction" tags will be passed off as originals down the road arent you just supporting a future fraudulent act by not making it obvious that it is a non-original tag? Perhaps some "extra stamping" that would make it plain to a blind man that it was in fact not the original?
