Very well said Mike Ross.....OE Gold needs to stay as the top of the heap and not watered down to make it easier to compete.
As for what Paul Jacobs said about a judge walking up to a car with an NOS grille vs. the beautifully restored one, I can equate that to having a woman who has Natural beauty vs. a woman who needs to spend 2 hours getting ready to go out. For many the made up girl gets most of the attention but the natural beauty is far more appealing to me! The perfect restored grille does look great but sometimes the factory flaws are more beautiful!!
