far as I know, you can't get replacement VIN plates from the dealer. I work at a bodyshop and I've once or twice before. If you order new door shells, for example, there is sometimes a flat spot where VIN would go, but you can't get a replacement VIN plate/sticker. Shows insurance companies that that door was replaced.

The plates act as a guide to help against fraud and such. If plates don't match, part was swapped for a reason.... and plate is gone, part was most likely replaced.

And of course, like everyone says, this would be a lost of value.

Tsk tsk bad dealership....
