2023 C3 of the Year Finalist - Modified
Default

Body shops remove the tag to do repairs and reinstall it when the repair is done. They do it on a regular basis. It is a felony to change the number, if you are putting the same number back on you are not changing or altering it.it may be a technical violation but there is no criminal intent.if you live in that much fear consult an attorney. if you ask the police or a states attorney they wil almost invariably say you cant, likely they don't really know.
If you change the actual sequence of numbers you are in big trouble.

I would have as much in writing from the state you live in in case you move to another state with different rules. I lived in Ga. then moved to NC and it was like I moved to another planet.

Car is being restored and has a reproduction tag but it is not original style.
Would like to get original style if possible.
Maybe start a new thread rather than respond to a post from over 13 years ago.
