This is a long shot and would probably be a little pricey.
All else failing you might get a similar plate to use as a guide and go to a fine jeweler and have the replacement plate engraved. If they can do inside a ring you may be able to find someone who will and can do a plate.
I know it's a long shot but....
I am also one of those guys who does not condone making a number/rare car but in my opinion replacing your own is perfectly O.K. and you have the right to be as picky as you want to be.

Thanks for the suggestions. I know that replacing a VIN plate is a touchy legal thing, but if you saw my VIN plate you would probably be thinking along the same path as I am. I'm spending a butt load of money making this car as perfect as I can. When it comes to the details, I may be picky, but that's what I want. To display a corroded, VIN plate in the windshield, with everything else reconditioned or new, that really goes against the grain with me. My thought was to repair the plate somehow, but that seems to be impropable, so fabrication a new plate seems to be more likely. Don't know if that's legal, even if I keep the old plate in the car. I'll have to do some research on this, but I really appreciate all the responses and ideas. You all are really a great group of GT/CS lovers and I'm happy to be part of the group.
