You say "if". Would be interested to know if this is true since the description on their website doesn't reference this....says it is made to original spec. I have not researched on others experience with this item on here, but since my car is not a true to spec restoration I am willing to sacrifice flat vs rounded in order to save a couple hundred dollars on such a small item. It has a chrome finish so unless I am being judged at a concourse event I am pretty sure the average person wandering the show floor is not going to be that picky. But, that being said, I still would like to hear back from others on quality issues seen or anything like that.
