Boy
The vin Number was really giving you a false sense of security. It really did not give you more of a guarantee of legality. Anything someone can do without a VIN they can do with.
We here are IT focused while a tech inspector deals with very different small rules on different categories. It is actually likely that some inspector will ask about a vin number whereupon you will helpfully point out the rule change and everyone will go away happy.
SM’s require 2 vins matching year of the car. I was inspecting cars and that was on the list. I came across a car that had different Vins on the dash pad and firewall and the one on the door was gone from bodywork. Common problem, the dash pad was replaced form another car. Upon further research the rule says that two vins have to match the year but does not say they have to me the same vin. Fortunately the dash pad was from the same year car but I am sure the driver was sweating bullets while we worked it out.
Point is if you have a question from a tech inspector it is not the end of the world, it is part of the game to work through the rules with them to figure it out.
By the way it is customary on this board to put your name in the signature line. It gives you more gravitas. Also keeps us from calling you boy.
