No problem. Their 65-67 tags are so bad, Stevie Wonder could tell they are fake. I'm sure a direct comparison between the other tags they offer and real ones will be the same. They are only selling blank tags, where would you get them stamped correctly?

Interesting picture of the C1 VIN tag... the picture (intentionally?) "cut off" the ends... Ive seen bad repro tags like this where the raised line at the top and bottom go all the way lengthwise and off the tag, instead of surrounding (outlining) the tag. The picture conveniently does not show that detail.

Of course, the way they misspell/misuse the apostrophe there, I wouldn't trust them for one second on something that requires attention to detail.

Reminds me of counterfeit cigarette tax stamps I've found that literally misspelled the state's name.

This vendor now makes it even more affordable to turn a perfectly good car into a branded counterfeit. Cool!
