Tried the dealership they said they dont make duplicates and that its not a big deal not to have it but I heard your car title can be taken away for not having that vin plate.

here in washington you have to get your car inspected by the state patrol and they'll assign a new vin plate if yours is missing off the dash

I'm also in WA, but I think I read the same about California. So it could be the same everywhere else too.

Thanks for the info, but does the car have to be all stock to be inspected?

The limitations of modification vary from state to state. Like South Carolina has no inspection.

if the vin is removed from the engine yes they will assume its stolen. if you have a swap they usually want to see a recipt of sorts.

in jersey they dont care. you can register a rhd car with a usdm vin plate off another car that has to be scrapped or get rid off.

as long as you pass inspection.

No you can't. Those are meant to go in the engine bay, not on the dashboard. And that won't help anybody because those are supposed to be JDM vins to show your chassis code which obviously makes you cooler, not replacements for yours
