Nitpickin'
Anybody else think the VIN # that's "secured" to the dash looks terrible? Can this be removed? or moved somewhere else like inside the glove box?
Also hate the way how the glass part # or whatever is so damned visible on the drivers and passengers window... especially when you can read that its a 1999 winda.... you know what I mean Vern? Hopefully when I get it tinted it won't be as noticeable.

Ummm...VIN moving...
I realize that the VIN under the windshield might be ugly, however if you move it you'll probably be breaking the law. Something about possibly altering the VIN so that a stolen car magically becomes a different car entirely.
I would look into your local laws to double check, but I think you should leave the VIN where it is. It'll save a huge headache if you ever get pulled over and the cop decides to verify that the VIN on the registration and insurance matches the VIN on the dash, IMHO...

Don't really know anything about the VIN but I'd have to agree witht the other guys, definitely leave it alone!
As for those other numbers on the windows though. Tinting makes them show more. At least if they are the same numbers that I'm thinking of, they're the ones that are on every window and are used as theft deterant right? Because I got my windows tinted, and it made them very easy to see. However if they are a theft deterant, I'd personally rather have people notice them.
You should get them tinted anyway though, it makes the car look damn sweet!
