Hey guys,
Question for you. Does anyone offer Replacement factory styled VIN tags for the dash? I slipped with my DA sander and hit the dash tag and the last few letters are not as sharp as the others. They are still legible but I would like to make it look better. I would imagine that this is a very controversial topic for some. Not looking to do anything illegal or immoral just want my VIN tag to look good.
Thanks
Ryan

You are much better off with the damaged original.

I agree...
In fact I actually like a car that is restored but shows the tags as all origianl, wrinkles and all..Then no one can think there is any monkey business,,,

Yep...a little bit of heat from a heatgun to "blue" the paint on a fresh tag and age the new Chrysler transfer, and a light kiss with scotchbrite over the letters and rivets...who wouda thunk,...hope the "black market" doesn't catch on!
