You've probably heard this a lot already, but no it is not leagle to remove
the vin plate and reinstall it on the same car. Many Tiger folk get very
upset about this, as the original rivets seem to be the single most
important part of the car.
but again, it ain't leagle, and could possibly cause a problem for you.
