"Ray Charles could tell that's a VIN tag, no matter what he calls it.

Verne"

Well, maybe a couple of years ago he might have been able too but I highly doubt he could today.

I talked to a Officer today that is an auto theft investigator and he says in Texas it is only ILLEGAL when you actually rivet the piece! VIN TAG on a vehicle without the authorities involvement!He said it goes on a lot and people get busted for it.He told me also that the guy selling this stuff is more than likely being watched by the authorities.I gave him the ebay add # so he could check into it.He said that swapping vins is a very common thing,and that it occurs more than people realize.

Why is this guy loved and hated by so many people?

He is put down for selling trim and VIN tags and then praised for selling "detail items" like this door tag - which includes the VIN.

Very easy: Because one item promotes fraud and assists in the commission of a felony and is a specifically enumerated item of contraband addressed under Federal Criminal Statutes and the other is a decal that assists in restoration.

.....which is probably where Mr. eBay Ripoff buys his My guess is that the $75.00 also entitles you to the unadvertised special of having yours "personalized" with a number/letter combination of your choosing in a specific type font
