Yes, but any of the state assigned VIN Tags that I have seen look nothing like the factory VIN Tag even if if shows the VIN that was assigned at on the vehicle from the manufacturer when it was new.
Big difference....
HUGE difference! Legal vs. committing a felony with a counterfeit.
Some say. 'Oh, it will be worth less with a state VIN" That is BS. A car with a legal state VIN is worth more than the same car with a counterfeit VIN.
You're splitting hairs, with the Big difference vs Huge difference.
Both mean essentially the same thing.
The point simply was that the state assigned VIN tag looks nothing like the factory VIN tag so there is no mistaking it for a factory VIN tag.
It's not a reproduction in any way sine it looks nothing like the original VIN tag even if it has the factory assigned VIN number.
It will NEVER be mistaken for being a factory VIN tag.
A dealership can even lose it's license.
