That is the site I went to. They emailed me the following reply.
"WE can not sell those rivets any longer!!!!!" I do need to score some of these so if you have any ideas, let me know. Thanks again, Danny |

Ha, on there installation instructions for the rivets they recomend to epoxy them on.
I take my vin plates off carefully, I try to squish the rivet then try to push it out. Do you guys drill them out? I was thinking about buying some new rivet but since they say just to epoxy them on I think I will do that. |

I heard that you have to have some special D.O.T. rivets for your VIN to have it legal? Anyone know more about this?

Dremel and a normal rivet......................you can make them in a couple of minutes. I don't like paying and waiting for something that I "could" make.
works good...............at least that's what I've heard.
