They look the same from the front............I doubt you could tell if it was a repro once it was mounted in the dash. _________________ "What a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away." Dobee, Dobee, Do |

The vast majority of the available panels seem to be repros. Patina can be faked, but if it has patina it's not likely it's a repro. Avoid spending extra money for an "original" panel if it's sight unseen though. |
