Just wonderin

 

From what I have heard, yes it is illegal.. However many people do this.. Some people I know just put a piece of paper up there, and make it like they threw it up there, so it doesn't look intentionally placed.

 

It's illegal BUT I'm going to do it anyways.

 

Multi forum post.

 

Totally illegal.

 

Been d0ne

 

does it state anywhere in the DMV

-aoib0t, who wants to challege the DMV guru's out there, knowing he could be owned

 

Why?

 

It may be illegal, but chances that a cop is gonna know that or care enough to write a ticket are pretty low.

 

Put a business card there, If you get pulled over Remove the card

 

Any of the board sponsers want to send me a business card?

 

I have a picture of a flag covering mine up.Ill take a ticket over a stolen car.

 

i used to put a parking permit in mine....

 

i heard that if you get a parking ticket and your vin number is covered your car will be towed! not to mean to scare you, but i just hope you keep that in mind. maybe another option would be to have you car rekeyed at a trusted locksmith, so it no longer corresponds with what's written in your car's file at acura.

 

gotten about 5 parking tickets. never towed, better to be safe by covering it up with scattered papers than a stolen car.

 

ditto, i've gotten like 8 parking tickets. Never once towed.

 

i've wondered if I had no plates on either, how would they give me a parking ticket??? I think that would be pushing my luck on the towing issue.

 

in one simple word yes

 

Why bother covering that VIN number up? The VIN appears etched in all the windows as well as the front glass. I suppose everyone has the VIN #s on the glass removed or covered up as well. If a thief wants to steal your car and sees the front VIN covered, all he has to do is look on any other glass on the car.

 

My VIN number is not on any of my glass.

Also another note, make sure to cover up the vin numbers in the door well and back of the hatch. If they are not covered, you can read them with a flash light

Craig - Who covered about 15 vin numbers the day he bought his car.

 

doesnt matter in NY/NJ. When I got registered here, i noticed that the registration tags have the vin number printed on the tag itself... to which ever DMV beaurocrat decided to do this...

 

i got a ticket from LAPD because my meter ran out while I was at the restaurant (and he was in the restaurant I was in). When I came out of the bath room after washing my hands before I started to drive the car, it was a matrix moment where everything between me and the LAPD officer slowed down. Then went back up to normal speed.



I had a sun shade up at that point. Is that illegal

what does VC stand for (vehicle cover)?

-aoib0t, who doesn't know what VC stands for in this situation.

 

yeah on them

 

how would having the VIN exposed get your car stolen?

 

He thinks you drive a purple car
