It is not illegal to change out a dash frame. Car is retaining it's original vin tag.

Your circumstances are a "little" different than the OP's....the OP's post should just read, "I need VIN rivets, where?, who?", end of story...reply, ECS concepts/Dave Walden

Look in the truck parts for sale section.. Theres some VIN rivets there..
whats the deal with these that make them worth $65? can't they bought elsewhere?
NOTHING , the seller thinks he is King Midas and that those rivets he had left over from a gutter job 20 years ago are gold ... he used to sell them for 30 a pr , then 35 , now 65 ...

The "el cheapo" way to get around the rivet prices is to remove the tag by grinding off the rivet butts under the dash, then gently punch out the rivets still attached to the tag.
Use a thin layer of epoxy to attach the tag/rivet heads to the new dash.

Or you just get the correct rivets from work.

I've had the rivets for quite a while, not a problem and I didn't pay $65 for them, must have got them before they became like gold. btw.. I'm keeping the old dash frame in case there's ever a question. It's pretty obvious that the tornado made it useless.
