There are three types of fender tags, the first one is obvious;

1. Original.

2. Reproduction - an exact copy of the original.

3. Fake.

The 'tag services' make both of the latter, it is all about greed for them.

Reproduction or fake, they can still pay their bills with no care for the hobby being degraded as a whole due to the fakes they make.

A fake tag also lowers the cars value even lower than just having no tag at all.

Fake tags also hurt the car owners reputation, any car owner that has a fake tag made can never be trusted.

People pointing others towards tag makers hurt their own reputations also.

That said it is OK to have a car with no fender tag, it really is.
