The easiest way is if the fender to apron mounting strip is fiberglass then it is a repro. Some of the newest repro fenders have a metal bonding strip like original which in that case you have to look at the metal stiffing gussets and how they appear. The back side color of the fiberglass, texture , bonding material and application , and added supports are other ways to tell also .Those are the best ways I can think of off hand . I will let others fill in the blanks.
Thank you Bob. If anyone has some pics to to post , that would be greatly appreciated. Steve
