    idk man, my personal feeling is, it's there for a reason. For example, when I got pulled over and the VT state trooper was being an asschode he made me read the back of my inspection sticker off to him as he checked my VIN badge with a flashlight through the windshield. I'd replace the one that's on there with your's. Just to be safe. Better that way in the long run

    life is good.

      A Honda dealer should NEVER cut a key without definite proof of ownership. If they do, they can get seriously sued.

        Bingo! If a dealership cuts a key from just the vin# .. they could be shut down in a heart-beat!!!!!

            They wouldnt check for another vin?

            Well me and my brother needed to get a new key for his 1996 civic because the key he got with the car didnt work well and he didnt have one that did to make a copy with. We went to the dealer with the title and the vin number. The guy just asked us the vin went to the back and made us a key. He never checked / asked or even saw we had a title on hand.

              I don't think so, I mean they could but this is your car's designated VIN badge. I think it's common knowledge that it's illegal to run around without one

                If I didn't tell you where to find the other VIN numbers, would you know where to look? Do you think cops know where else to look?

                As for the key... if they did that, that's totally wrong. Anyone could walk in there and get a key made if they do that. You should contact that dealer and inform them that their employees are cutting keys without proof of ownership.

                  I took out my 2 vin plates with a flat head screwdriver..

                  It comes out with out braking the dash or bending the vin plate section.

                  just put the flat head under twist and push up.

                    If I'm not mistaken .. most cops (one's that I know) understand VIN# locations perfectly.
                    Not only do we have them on the inside of our driver's door and firewall ..
                    but, correct me if I'm wrong .. we also have them somewhere on our motors ..
                    Atleast I coulda sworn I once saw one on mine ..

                    And yeah .. if that one dealership is cutting keys and not checking proof of ownership,
                    I'd contact Honda of America, or whoever .. and really let them know about that .. ASAP!

                    I could walk in there, have a key cut .. give it to Tippey .. and then say he had it cut ..
                    turn around, sue the dealership, then I'd own those mother fuckers .. oh, and of course,
                    I'd give 49% to Tippey .. you see, I'd have to own the other 51% by his decision making alone ..

                      Even if the cops know... they won't necessarily check. They could impound the car on suspicion of it not being legal. If the registration doesn't match the VIN, then as far as the cop is concerned, it's not a registered vehicle (I know I've driven cars with plates from other cars on them...)

                      Get pulled over at 1am, and see how many cops feel like digging around in your engine bay to search for a VIN...
