OEM SPID vs. Reproduction?

How can you tell the difference between an original SPID label and a reproduction?

Well for one, it’s new. But the new spids are used on blank stickers. I believe my original was gray unless it was just badly faded, but the new one is blue.
I also had him change the interior color, since I did changed it from Burgundy to Charcoal.

Gray is correct for yours.
