Body panel VIN plates.

Does the Ram have these plates on the body panels or not? All my previous rides did, is it something that domestic vehicles excempt from this procedure?

I'm assuming not.

My dealer tried selling me the etched windows and marked body panels. I refused to pay $500 for it.

When my truck arrived, I had RSR-Global stickers everywhere (the one on the tailgate drives me bonkers, they slapped it on crooked, like 45 Degree crooked). But no Window etchings.

I Googled this company and it's based in Ontario Canada (I'm also Canadian and use this truck in Canada). But I can't see Ram using a country specific company, especially in North America (I can't see why they wouldn't use a USA company--over a Canadian company, since they would have a larger market share).

So I was talking to one of detectives I know (Ontario Provincial Police); he looked at me sideways and said; "yeah, unless your driving a super high end vehicle or the dept is specifically looking at that model of vehicle. VIN marked items are pretty much useless".


There maybe some hidden VIN numbers, but I haven't been able to see any (not that I've taken off body panels).

I'm not sure I'd assume that just because a dealer tried to sell you something, it wasn't already there.

Remember, these are the same dinguses that choose the "Delete Spray-In Bedliner" option on the Tradesman, pocket the $325 they get back, then sell you an $80 cheap plastic bedliner for $300, which they refuse to take out and not charge you for because "it's already installed".
