Fender Tags, Fender Tags, Fender Tags......... I have a pretty valuable car that has a real nice broadcast sheet but I too am missing my OEM fender tag. I have pondered the idea of having a duplicate made based off the information from the broadcast sheet and fasten it to the car but still have not decided whether I want to go through that yet??
Problem is my temper....if I do have one made and a member of the fender tag police comes up to me and gives me any crap about it, I'm liable to become insensitive toward that person and tell him or her to walk the F*** away from my car now and don't come back??
I don't give a damn whether my fender tag is an oem tag or an aftermarket made tag....as long as the information on that tag correctly matches the broadcast sheet. Sure it would be nice to have the original tag the car was built with but sometimes that is a needle in a hay stack so my thought is.....so the hell what.......
I agree why not. Tired of the Fake/fraud label for all circumstances. Reproduction Fender Tag is a Reproduction Fender Tag like it or not. Lots of Bigger things going on in the world to be concerned with. Becomes a very minor concern in the big picture. But everyone entitled to there opinion like mine. Just don't tell someone what to do when a product for restoration is available on the market to replace missing parts of the car. IMO

I need a repop tag for a car I have two sheets for. It isn't a very valuable car but I would like a tag made and have an R in the corner so we know it is not the original. Maybe a subtle second tag with a pointed message for those who would notice. The NCRS guys should have been adding the R to their block stampings for years. They have created the monster by not scoring the engine bay area if the block is not stamped correctly. They sure did not think that one trough very well.

Ed,you can go one step farther,if a repop tag is considered a fake/fraud,then I guess that could call all repop parts fake/fraud.

The members of the fender tag police will not try to start any trouble , they will just point at it , laugh , mock and walk away ... it's you that will have to start the confrotation.
It's your mistake for buying "A PRETTY VALUABLE CAR" without the tag , not the fender tag police ....

Thee VAST majority of those that think fake fender tags are just fine, make no value difference, etc. etc. Are typically those that already own a fake one or are hoping to get validation on thier decision to buy a fake one.
Scott, I think we've just seen a good example of your post. Did this (fake) tag over inflate a purchase price?
