Ideas on how to conceal/hide VIN number near windshield?
Most cars have a gap where the windshield meets the dash so you can just slide a piece of cardboard to conceal it but on the IS-F it seems to be encased separately???
I just tried to look at it but nothing fits in between the glass and VIN number!
Just want to hide it so it's not readily visible to public.....
Ideas?

What inspection sticker? Most states don't have them. California certainly doesn't because they don't care how bad your mechanicals are as long as you pass smog.
The only thing it saves you is a ticket while you have no plates. California law does not allow you to run plateless for more than 6 months, or you're violating a different law. If you're planning to run paper plates for years to come, plan on a very long traffic stop the first time you get pulled over after 6 months have elapsed.

Guys this isn't a debate over law since I only want to cover it when parked in "un-safe" areas as I don't want others to copy down my VIN (same reason we don't reveal on entire VIN to strangers)
No one has said anything about how to cover it up - why did Lexus totally ENCASE it???

IIRC, there is a CA vehicle code which says you have to display your VIN number. I have not seen how the IS-F vin's are displayed so good luck.
Btw, a person could copy your license plate information down much easier and it will give the same information as a VIN number will on almost every online data base most PI's have access to.

Lexus didn't encase it. It's there so people don't tamper with vin plates. You do realize people can still obtain your vin# by looking under the bumper covers and reading the tag on the bumper reinforcement bar right? All dealerships and places cannot sell you parts or keys to a car unless you show proof of ownership to match.

I think he meant the registration for your car, because New York Traffic Pigs scan the registration sticker usually, and New York has an inspection sticker as well, which is expires about a year from the day you get your car inspected for tires, smog etc..., but isn't scannable, just shows a date that your inspection expires
