It depends on how much of a stickler you want to be for originality. I like them original and restored to original specs. It is difficult for me to stray from this in most cases, BUT……. I fully understand and agree with you that spending 100 bucks on decals is a lot to put into a motor you are not trying to make a showpiece out of. That is hard for me to swallow also. That is why most of mine remain in their original condition. If I buy it and someone else has done a less than stellar job on the finish, then I may decide to do something a little different with it. There is a seller on EBay (shabestari) from Vista, CA that sells vinyl decals that look OK and fairly closely replicate factory decals. His prices are very reasonable and you may find something that works for you from what he has for sale.
