Interesting debate and if it's already been turned inside out and updside down, just let me know.

Here is the question:

If given the choice would you rather have a very nice original part (maybe even NOS) or a top notch reproduction? (The kind that even the good doctor himself would be proud of).
Confident that I've stacked the deck against my horse in this race because the silient majority consists of BIG money buyers of parts and cars (See: European collectors) I would still like to hear from those in this community.

Caveat: I am very grateful to those individuals who are willing to risk treasure and time to bring first quality Porsche parts to market. Thank you. It's only a matter of time when we will not have the option of NOS parts on the scale that we now enjoy. There's great wisdom in reproducing a part that is still available "new" as it purifies the authenticity process.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Good Friday.
