does anyone know how to get a replacement vin badge for lower corner of window?? my is faded and rusted so bad i can hardly read it. i ve heard of ppl getting harrassed by police cuz they cant read it even tho register, etc has it on there. the car is not drivable now so i cant even do the rub move ( aaa says to mimic carbon copy by rubbin pencil over paper on badge to prove #'s )to get title transfer... any suggestions...???

 

Pull the windsheild, then take a wire brush to the tag? Then maybe a coat of cast iron gray spray paint.

Apparently one of my Camaros has been stolen at some point, and all VIN's were removed. It now has a VIN tag installed in the driver's door jamb, it was installed by the California Highway Patrol (where the car was from).

 

In some states (like MI where I live) simply having or posessing the special rivets called Rosette Rivets is illegal.

For some reason the VIN tags on some cars rusted pretty badly, I would think it would be more prevelent on the T-top cars, but I have seen it on all models...

Other cars seems they held up really well... I think it had to do with the coating that they put on the plate was not applied correctly.
