That's a very touchy question. Let me try to avoid getting in trouble.....

It is illegal to affix, alter or modify a vin tag in most cases. Discussing anything to do with that is forbidden on this and most forums and threads get locked.

A better route would be to contact your states vehicle registration authority to find out what you can do legally.

The short answer is no. There is no circumstance in which that is a legal procedure in any state, and will land you with a felony. Best idea would be to swap cabs and the small price of registration and insurance will be far better than jail time for VIN fraud.

I didn't see the original post but you or your shop are allowed to remove and replace the vin tag if needed, by federal law....State laws may differ.
I'm by no means a lawyer, this is just an FYI. I agree it would be best to check with your state authorities.
