Just wanted to know where i can get another duplicate VIN plate. I bought a car that was stripped and the whole interior was gone. So the last owner went to a junk yard and bought new dash board and the whole interior. So now the dash board is from another car. So where can i go to get it duplicated?

no where, even the dealership wont touch it. Your best bet is keeping a copy of the new dashboard receipt on you at all times incase you get pulled over.

Even that might not stop the cop from saying tough crap and impounding it.

If you do find a place, post it up. I have a friend in the same boat.

 

go to CHP and get a replacement vin plate make sure u have recipts for the dash. and good luck on the build

 

the problem is that i lost the receipt for the dash.

 

but the VIN on the frame should be good enough right?

 

go to a junk yard or somthing and buy another dash. get recipts. having a dash with no vin is ILLEGAL.

nope, cops dont check the frame or the door. You have lots of explaining to do if you get pulled over without it. Usually they impound first, ask questions later.

 

no i meant the VIN on the frame is good enough to obtain me a VIN plate from the CHP right?

You would have to check the sate laws, maybe call them first. I would imagine they would want proof of sale, title, registration, insurance and then they would check frame and door. They may even want the receipt for the dash, I really dont know.

 

call or visit your local chp office and ask them what you need for what im guessing your looking for is a blue tag. Dont lag on this retarded mission. or else you might get charged with vin tampering like me! lol
