Still a slippery slope, but technically not a Federal Offense

I'm no lawyer, but if the owner's intent is to deceive or defraud a buyer or the DMV, whether to lower the fees & taxes paid at registration or to register/sell a Cobra under some false pretense, then being creative with the VIN still is illegal IMO.
However, taking an OEM tag from a '66 Mustang and riveting it on another car, component or not, is illegal.
