I get that there are a few 100 to 1500 mile cars out there, and if someone wants to preserve one of those, that's fine.

I cannot speak for 1st Gen Legends, but for 2nd Gen Camaros in the Legends class, no points deductions for non-embossed filters. The Legends judging criteria is constantly evolving, as it should, and I can see where correct appearing filters, less embossing, will be the standard.

In addition to the lack of embossing on the bottom of the filter, the rim seal is painted and wasn't on originals and the alignment and spacing of the lettering isn't true to the originals either.

PS - for Camaro 1st Gen Legends judging there are bonus points available for an embossed PF filter. Martin M whose 69 L-89 SS was Legends judged last week received bonus points for an embossed, PF-25 black & white lettered filter that I stenciled for him.
