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,

Bob

It's pretty likely a federal crime for ANYONE other than Porsche itself to do what you're asking. Not George, not me, not an authorized dealer. For sure it's a state crime here in CA. The Cap'n

Hardly. This one's for real, and the penalties are too. Having gone through 2 years of CHP random "spot checks" of my shop and parking lot because I was remotely associated with a VW pan and title that passed through my hands, I can assure you they take VIN labels VERY seriously, something they made exceedingly clear to me. A few months back I inquired about simply R&Ring the decal for a restoration, and the answer is NO, you can't even do that on your own car, much less anyone else's.

A quick check of the 2007 California Vehicle code seems to differ on this.
Here is a link to the specific section in the code related to this:
Altering or Changing Vehicle Numbers
Clearly the intent of the law is to prohibit "Alteration" or removal
and there seems to be a clear exception for restoration.

I would follow up with the DMV.
