VIN number on front bumper??

Maybe I'm wrong, but when you order a new bumper from the factory you have to supply your VIN, so I'm assuming that a new bumper would come with the sticker. Again, I may be wrong, but it would make sense.

I doubt you could order another one, but who knows.

I think the easiest fix would be removing it with a heat gun and re-applying it to the new bumper. Should be fairly easy for a skilled hand.

Heat gun, eh? Now we are talking. My only worry would be that I would ruin the surrounding paint with the heat gun. I guess you just have to keep it on a low heat?

Yeah, that might not be a bad idea. You just need to be careful.

You are naive.....Anyone can buy body parts..

If the dealer can't order you one, then it sounds like the heat gun might be your best option. It's funny, a ton of people have replaced/swapped their bumpers on here - I wonder if they know/care that they have a different VIN or no VIN at all on the front bumper now, lol.
