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,

I would love to be the test case. I would love to see the fed's take me to task over a documented car. There is no way the intent of the law is to prohibit the replacement of a damaged sticker. If it was the only identifcation on the car I could see an issue. But this is a sticker not a stamping. I would have the press all over this if they spent one thin dime of my tax money on a frivelous issue like this.

The intent is to prevent vin. swapping or rebodying cars. Not replacing a missing or unreadable sticker with the cars original vin.

BTW: I cut the tags off my pillow come and get me.

Cap'n, sounds like you were being observed because there was an issue with a swapped vin. not a reproduction stick being replaced due to damage.

True. However, I became pretty good friends with the Chippie who dealt with things like this. I recently had occasion to discuss the VIN sticker with his successor because the question was raised here (or at the club) and was informed that the CHP (at least) takes this VERY seriously, and would impound the car and otherwise inconvenience the person in possession of the car, and anyuone else involved until the issue was cleared up, and he didn't think it would be cleared up in the best interests of those persons. BTW, IME cars impounded in CA for VIN issues are generally destroyed. They don't get parted out, and cannot be retitled. All it takes is one CHP officer who is having a bad day, has issues with your attitude or demeanor, or has a hard on for CWs or Porsche owners in general.

That said, there is a procedure whereby the manufacturer can issue a new sticker and the dealer can affix it. The problem here appears to be that the stickers currently available are not the same as those originally affixed to the car in the 1970s, and the person asking the question is unwilling to use one.
