You would have to remove the windsheild to drill out the rivits holding that VIN plate in place. If you want to remove the VIN from your car it sounds a little fishy to me.. The dashpad just goes over and around that VIN plate. There is no need to remove it from your car, or the car you're taking it from.

If you replace your instrument cluster with used, the digital odometer setting will not transfer.(At least that'* what happened on my SSEi). The odometer setting is stored in the cluster, and does not transfer from vehicle to vehicle.
So, if you put in a IC from a salvage yard, you will need to attach an adjustment somewhere that will reflect the difference in the actual vs. displayed mileage. You may be able to get a dealer to reprogram the used IC...but I doubt it. They only seem interested in selling you their own remanufactured version.

So the vin is connected to the car. What a relief. Arent the vin #'* impossible to remove anyway?
