Do you guys take the tags off your mattresses after you buy them? Or the plastic off the lamp shades?? No police have ever visited my home looking for a VIN tag removal issue.  
I've restored so many mid year vettes --- took the tags off all of 'em -- and replaced 'em... never gone to jail yet. Never tried to cheat anyone either. |
It is definitely against the law, and you can lose your car because of it. You get stopped for a normal speeding citation, and the officer goes to verify the last of your VIN against reg(it does happen), and oh wait, its been tampered with! At that point the cars getting towed until it can be verified. Your car has no fed tag anymore, and the engine/trans aren't original? Oh well looks like you're in a world of hurt.
Bottom line, dont touch your VIN, its against the law and its a bad idea.
