Metal Data Plate-Disregard, found the answer!

The metal data plate is missing from the driver's side door post. Can this be replaced?

Your going to cause some NCRS guys to have a stroke. lmao Next time give a warning in your title lol.

You can call PROTEAM Corvette Sales and ask them how they do it. HAHAHA

I dont have an answer but im sure you can rivet it back on as you can a VIN. Im not an expert but thats my guess. There are others here who are and im sure they can advise.

Good luck!

Yes you can get a replacement trim tag, but they are fairly easy to detect and expensive.

Why bother?

Maybe it goes with the "aged tank sticker" on Ebay last week. For novelty purposes only....

I think they get $225 for Corvette trim plates including 2 rivits. You are correct, there was a lack of a hash marking or machining pattern that wasn't on these plates. The average person would never notice it. Supposedly they have corrected this.

There was a guy on Ebay recently selling original trim tags for around 20 bucks, you might get lucky and find one to suit.

...nope-doubt anyone EVER, EVER will be able to "correct" it. Once you know what to look for with a higher power monocular scope, you'll be able to pick out 9,999 repros out of 10,000 real ones.
