Must have seen me coming back to my car. The dust would have been flying if I caught them. Would have really sucked, as I have no build sheet, V1G,FY4 T/A. I did DRIVE it almost 900 miles each way- but I highly doubt it fell out on its own. Guess I'll just pull them next time-

The bolts and nylocks makes removal a two hand / two tool operation that nobody would be prepared for or have the guts to attempt.

You could even use some locktite on those, or drill them and safety wire them like on an airplane. I know a guy that riveted his on, but I just don't like the look of that. Tav

When I had them do my tag I sent them a photo of my tag, a COLOR high quality SCAN of my broadcast sheet and (important) use graph paper to list the codes as they appear on the tag (this way there is no mistakes). They don't need the VIN or any other proof.

I've gotten a few funny looks at shows and cruise nights There's some real trolls out there I thought about getting a replacement tag since the original is barely legible anyway, but whats the point? I cant see the fender tag when Im grabbing gears and there's a lot better way to spend a couple of hundred $$$ on the car 68 Valiant 408 69 Charger 318 69 Cougar 351W 70 Torino GT 351C 71 Country Squire 351W 71 Road Runner 440+6 71 Satellite sedan 318 73 Duster 318 73 Challenger 383 77 Grand Prix 455 83 Malibu 9C1 383 84 Delta 88 403 87 Grand National 96 Ram 360 09 Crown Vic 10 Challenger R/T M6 15 Challenger Hellcat M6

I like Pacnorthcudas' idea. Simple and, if you could match the original screw head, undetectable. I think you misunderstood; I was talking about a blob of JB weld on the tip of the screw from the underside to prevent it from being threaded out. A quick zap with a grinder would be all that was needed to remove the screws (if you ever needed to). The bolt and nut thing would work well too, although I imagine it would be hard (or perhaps impossible) to get the exact right head on a threaded machine screw.
