yeah, cause you still have the VIN on the fire wall as well. if you get pulled over and a cop asks about it, tell him you had to replace the dash.

I think the person who did the dash swap should be frowned upon.He didn't even swap the vin over to the new dash.

i dont know a whole lot about the civics history, other that it has been mostly overhauled, and that its been done pretty cleanly. i was just worried that the missing vin would cause problems when buying/registering/inspecting the car.

what problem areas should i look for on the car? i know the basics, shock tower, floors, pillars and roof, but is there anything specific?
