      Your point is certainly valid, no doubt. But at the risk of being hated, I'll say this, often businesses and individuals pay little attention to detail when it comes to their needs. Case in point,

      "We carnt they make reproduction labels like the originals".

      I think we're all guilty of this

        Tell me about it. I had several hundred of the very hard to find correct decals made for early C-3's. Had to pay a die fee to cut the decals, printing, etc. Used the GM blueprint for size, font, color, etc. Still sitting on several hundred.
        Which decals?

          Looking side by side I see a lot of differences. But installed on the car unless one has a photographic memory the detection would be hard to discern.

            The proper term is Eidetic memory (/aɪˈdɛtɪk/; sometimes called photographic memory) Although the terms eidetic memory and photographic memory are popularly used interchangeably, they are also distinguished, with eidetic memory referring to the ability to view memories like photographs for a few minutes, and photographic memory referring to the ability to recall pages of text or numbers, or similar, in great detail.

                I've got thousands of exhaust labels if you need any.
                I lose money on every one.

                    Gary, Richard no longer owns Paragon. Richard does advertise in our pubs. James has a good idea, contact Richard or try Jeff. Good Luck.
