Message	Counterfeit money looks real, but it's not currency. One's individual idea of what looks good doesn't stack up to what is considered the "standard". (In this case, the original design). What I'm saying is that a substitute, at the end of the day, is just that - a replica of what the original idea or product is. It cheapens the overall effort of the modification by only going halfway......It takes away from the original stylistic concept......
