ya the dmv sucks... we delt with them for like a year trying to redg my bros sammi.. they told us we had to get a brake inspection and vin inspection.. we welded over the first number on the vin.. so then we needed to get chp to put new vins on.. then we found out we had a friend that worked at the dmv and she hooked it up..so basically u need to know someone at the dmv if u want to get something like this done correctly and easly. i live in santa cruz and our dmv is a joke!!!!
