Default VIN nameplate rivets?
Where can I get the rivets holding the VIN plate on the windshield post? I heard that if you put regular rivets in that you will kill the vettes value.

The last I checked, Paragon no longer sells them.

My buddy was able to cut his old ones out from underneath and epoxy them back into the replacement windshield pillar. They look perfect, and are orginal equipment.

Steve,
In the NCRS Archives I found this as a source of the rivets: Trim tag Co. at 847-478-8247
