cars come with option tags for a reason. otherwise mfg's would not spend the time and money to install them in the first place. the whole reason for my intrest in these post was that people are paying big money for cars that claim to have origional tags, paperwork and documentation. even though i agree with you that it really does not matter to me, the truth is that many buyers are not experts and the experts that make theese claims are selling snake oil . otherwise to knowingly/willfully change the tags and sell a car based on this representation would be fraud, and that is no civil matter.
