[QUOTE=njsteve;4962558]You've got to be kidding, right? Looks just like mine and every other one I have seen, once the caulking is cleaned up.QUOTE]
Ok, the rebody comment was a bit tongue in cheek, (it's nice to know somebody is paying attention!) but I've never seen factory installed rivets that rough. Especially when you notice how bent up the tag is around each rivet. Especially the right one. It has all the appearances of having been (quickly, rather than carefully) removed,...most likely to do a thorough cleaning/painting underneath, and the rivets were replaced with the available aftermarket copies.
Having said all this, I'd like to see some pics of Norwood installed tag rivets (and tags) that look as rough as this Red Formula's does. I only have three Norwood Firebirds at present & none look this way. But as I said, I'd like to see pictures that say different. Fair enough?
BTW, here's the Red Formulas tag from the auction.
