Here's the story...
I am titling my 05 LS430 along with my other vehicles in Pennsylvania and they require to make a VIN etching with a pencil and paper for proof.
The problem is, I can't find any place to do it.
The only place where I see are the VIN plate under the windshield, which is useless b/c there is no way to get an etching from it.

Does anyone know where I can access a VIN etched into frame?

 

I just checked mine - could not find a vin that is reachable or that would etch. VIN plates on doors and drivers side chassis but they are printed too light to "etch" with paper and pencil. Sounds like Penn DMV has to update their rules based on more inaccessible VINS on newer cars - this tougher plate location is a security enhancement to stop thieves form replacing the main VIN plate on a stolen car with a new fake using an old VIN from a basket case car.

 

Thanks for the reply.
My other vehicle is a Chevy Silverado and I had no luck there either.
At least I can take a picture of it on the truck...
