[Roadsters] Nissan Skylines to be destroyed

[Paul Kort]

  The VIN tag on my roadster had several layers of over spray on it when I
purchased the car.  I use a dab of solvent to try and clean it.  The next
thing I know, I have a shiny metal tag.  No words, no letters, just the
last part on the VIN that is stamped on the tag.  Am I in violation of that
law?
