2G FADED engine bay tag

my vin in my engine bay is faded . how do i get it reprinted?

Imo, just take it off and have one custom printed or make a metal badge. A friend of mine did that and it looked like a little license plate, and it added a really nice touch of color to his bay. There's plenty of places online that can do this, just gotta look

His name is Jason Drew and is well known on the facebook forums. He can do it.

All you need is the vin number? I literally can't read anything on mine. It's just a dirty white sticker at this point.

Vin is also on your ownership/registration

Lol I realize that. But there's more on the tag than just that but he can pull what he needs from the vin.

so how are people attaching them so they dont look wonky rivets or an adhesive of some sort?

 

[dsmcrzy]

I have yet to mount mine but I was planning on rivits. Centered on the left and right edges.

I just used simple 1/8" rivets and just lined up the VIN plate, marked the drill holes, grabbed a fresh 1/8" bit and drill, and drilled them on a piece of wood, then deburred the holes and fitted it in.

I used Jason Drew - Woodside Customs - http://www.under-your-skin.com/jdf/

Beforehand, measure your old VIN tag so you can have him get the new VIN tag as close in dimension to the old one. The car I just did one on had a VIN sticker instead of a plate (97 eclipse), and I had Jason get me a slightly larger plate made to cover the old VIN sticker up. Turned out perfect.

 

[dsmcrzy]

That's interesting I thought they were all vin stickers. My 96 is a sticker.

 

[twicks69]

My 99 has a metal plate.

My 99 has a metal plate.

I would like to see what that looks like. You sure it's factory? My 99 has a sticker that you cant read anymore just like every other 2G DSM I have seen.
