Vin number w/ bar code missing

When you open the s2k driver door on the quarter panel there is vin info and a bar code. I'm wondering if it's possible to buy that. For some reason mines is missing and when ever I go for emission or alignment they spend 5-10 minutes looking for it.

I agree.
That happened to a car of mine. A rather minor parking lot accident but she hit the driverside. The repair resulted in no vin plate on the car.

Yup, your car was in an accident and it was removed when they replaced the rear quarter. No way to get it replaced either. Been down that road with my first S2K

This. I work at a collision center and have tried to order these for other cars. Can't get it.
