You can get replacement VIN tags. Not cheap, and not exactly legal. Legal method is to get a state issued VIN tag.

Are state tags the same size? Where are vin #s on frame? Thanks for note. Don

This topic has come up before, and I believe these people were supposed to be able to do it...

If I remember correctly it requires extensive proof of ownership (whatever that may entail).

State issued VIN tags are usually the same size as the factory tag. It will NOT have the same number on in as the original VIN, in most cases.
The VIN on the frame is located on the drivers side top frame rail, about where your left hip is when sitting in the car.
