Who can do the punching of door VIN stickers?, I cannot find a dealer to do it. Options

I called George at AA and he says he has a great VIN sticker for the 914-6 just like this one saying made by Porsche but I need someone to punch the holes to match my VIN numbers. I have all my VIN’S everywhere on the car but there and that is a great item for a restoration. He said to ask the club to see if there is a hole punch person in our group.

Nice blue color.

Thanks,

XXXXXX,

I'm not laying low about the vin plates.

Like I said I do know of a process that can duplicate the vin plates, but I don't personally know of anyone who can do it for now.

If I could do it and it was legal to do (not sure if the manufacturing of a vin plate is illegal or if the act of placing it on the car would be considered the illegal act) I would first get a couple opinions from lawyers versed is criminal acts before proceeding and from several different parts of the country. Then there is the matter that even if it was legal here to manufacture them what are the laws in other areas?

Radar detectors are illegal in some parts of the country. Some places it's illegal to have one in a car. Yet the manufactures are not charged with producing a illegal item. Now they are probably a ltd. company is that the reason or is the onus placed on the person who owns the unit entirelly or is it that the use and ownership of radar detectors are not a legislated act that are required to be on the car like a vin plate.

Now the door plates are not the ownly means of determining the vin number on a car. There is the windshield plate and serial numbers in the front trunk. What would need to be determined is what were the requirements when the car was made and for each year it was made and what are the current federal laws and then the each states laws.

Say I made you a vin plate. Perfectly legal here (not known if it is at this time) and I sent it to you and you put it on your car. Somewhere down the road someone decided this was a illegal act and because I mailed it to you it would be a federal crime (might fall under federal laws because they are the ones that enact car standards- unknown) Then there are each states laws concerning this. What is legal in one area might not be in another. Worst case, I send you a new vin tag and I get arrested next time I cross the border.

So until I'm sure that won't happen it is not a project I will take on.

P.S. I'll post this in the thread (without your name) so others know what's up


Edit- I need some too....making them without the vin is easy...anyone need a couple 100 and I'll get them done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
