Some guys stick a "new" face decal on it and call it a day to get more money on EBay :swear:

I would only buy a new replacement. I don't see a lot of point in replacing my used parts with used parts, especially for something like this.

Yes its amazing what a decal can do. Glad mine is correct, but I've seen some that weren't. That being said I had my original cleaned an recalibrated, works great!  :burnout:
