Rosette head rivets are what should be at the VIN plate .
I think we found that some plants went topside and some went underside.
Those rivets can be bought now.
There is a plastic escutcheon that surrounds the VIN plate and hides the rivets and gives a cleaner look.
Used replacements in good condition are not easy to source.
The trim tag may have gotten ruined accidentally by a sandblaster if the firewall/cowl was sandblasted.
Made of aluminum and a sandblaster will disintegrate them.
Just a possibility.
Repop tags can be purchased with correct rivets.
Deposits are usually nonrefundable , and usually stated that way.
In this instance at least 50% should be refunded regardless. my opinion
Good luck with whatever you decide.
