If it's a stamped original post it up in the Orphans section using the partial VIN in the subject line.  If it's stamped but you're not sure if an original post a link under Decoding/Numbers section.  If it's an old blank or one of those guys who will restamp whatever you want, that is highly frowned upon in the Camaro community.  There is only one original, and you either have it or you don't.  Even with no initial intention to deceive, cars get passed on to new owners and details get purposely left out or forgotten.  Once a car is found with a fake trim tag, POP, paperwork etc. it brings the authenticity of the entire car into question.

Yup, unfortunately NOS POPs are available all the time on Ebay and other places...

Here's a guy that will make a POP with your car's data...

You can also buy the original Dymo tape and add your dad's name to your fake POP...

What ever happened to honesty ?

It relocated to Wall Street and took up investment banking.

I have no problem with a reproduction POP as long as you have all the original info to back it up. Now if you are trying to mislead then that's another story.

Our "leaders" in D.C. don't help much either.
