Who else makes accurate fender tags besides Galen?
There is no such thing , a repop tag is EASY to spot ...
Do you have the original tag? If not you will NEVER get all the CORRECT info on a tag no matter how real it looks .

If you have a buildsheet, and someone who knows what they're doing, you can get an accurate tag made.
Of course, there are always exceptions and often, a tag will not show an option that was clearly ordered on the sheet. Human error I'm sure when the tags were made.

all depends on where the car was built , Lynch rd car , there is info on the tag that is not on the brodcast sheet so unless you have the original you will NEVER have an accurate tag .
Also not all options are listed on the tag .

Every year is different, every plant is different. There are changes to what was and wasn't coded at the same plant depending on the time of year. There are changes to layouts depending on the time of year. Some plants have certain nuances to the tag that other plants didn't. It is exceedingly hard, if not impossible like John said, to make an 'accurate' tag. You can probably get close, but 'accurate' is pretty tough.
Remember... someone paid good money to have this tag made.

Galen doesn't make them, someone makes them for him. He just surcharges you! Also, he doesn't make the window stickers either, AAA does.

Are you guys talking about the quality of the tag, or the info that's on it? I have a car with the original tag, but it's rusty, and most of the build sheet. Was hoping to get a reproduction tag. Is it worth it, or do they look really far off from the original?
