Suppose you had replacement rivets, and some overzealous DMV folks decided to
question this. I don't think challenging them to prove there WAS fraud would
make them instantly back down. They might want to confiscate it, then you
could end up in court where your well compensated lawyer has to bring up this
arguement, and then you might win.
Or you could leave your rivets alone and not have this problem.
Other opinions?
