Yeah, but it's not a hex, it's a rosette shape...similar to flower petals. And besides, there's enough people in this hobby just LOOKING for in-accuracies. My car IS an original P code 340-S and I don't want anyone disaggreeing that it's not because of the VIN rivets.
I'm all for spending as wisely as possible in this hobby, but something like the VIN rivets are hard to fake. ESPECIALLY with all the "experts" we have trolling message boards and shows these days.... although it annoyed me no end paying that much for rivets, it's the importance of those rivets that made me do it.
