[QUOTE="69ST, post: 16140, member: 5"] Actually, drive screws have helical grooves on the shanks. That's what gives them solid grip, no adhesive required. For what it's worth, I've seen examples of printed decal-type VIN tags replacements. They looked pretty good, too. However, this is one item where I'd go the extra mile and get a metal replacement with the numbers stamped into the plate, as per original. Can't help but wonder if a printed, as opposed to stamped, VIN could raise the wrong eyebrows at some point. Every factory VIN tag I've ever seen, regardless of make, model, year or type of vehicle had stamped (debossed) numbers. I suspect that this is widely known by collectors & law enforcement. [/QUOTE]
