All our panels on our cars have stickers on them called universal security guards. Someone looked at my car and not seeing it on my fenders inside the hood thought maybe they were replaced fenders. I have them on each door edge, trunk, and hood. Are any of you able to look and see if inside your hood on your fenders if you have tags. Could be in a spot not visible. Don't want to think I bought a junk car. See pic showing tag. Ron

 

I just looked on Bat's Crossfire, and its a little sticker that says "TriPac Identifier".
It has a telephone number, and an identifying code.

I couldn't see one on the front fenders, but it was on both doors, the hood, and the trunk lid.

Good to here that maybe mine is normal. Thanks Ron

 

I did not see them on either fender.
It might be on there somewhere, but I'm not pulling the plastics in the fenderwells in order to look for it.

I wouldn't be worried about not seeing the stickers on your car.
Seems normal to me.

I'm just curious Darticus. Why would think that you bought a "junk" car just because some stickers may be missing?

 

Looks like an aftermarket item. When I bought my pick up 5 or 6 years ago they included this with every vehicle on the lot and tacked on about $300.00 to the price. I had to argue to get them to reverse the charge as the stickers were already put on. It is registered if it ever gets stripped for parts - big deal. It was just another scam for dealers to make more money.

 

Its just that one of my psycho body shop owner friends looked at the car and didn't see the fender tags so he thought maybe it was replaced or hit. I just bought the car as new so he got me thinking as I got a great deal.
NICE HOOD SCOOP! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT? COOL! Thanks Ron

 

Thanks Ron, I'm glad you like it. I had my hood custom built a few years ago.
I just wasn't sure why the lack of stickers was causing you concern. I mistakenly thought you were worried that your car may have "aftermarket" replacement body parts on it, and that's not possible because there aren't any available.
I'm glad you got a great deal on your car. They truly are the best automotive "deal" out there. Enjoy.

 

my car even has the id numbers on every window.

I dont think i've seen a sticker like that on my car.

p.s. looks like you ahve a minor rust issue

 

Checked it out and the brown seems to come off with a tooth pick. It was half on the rubber. Maybe a sealant?

 

If it's just a sticker I can't see why it would prevent theft, if there are no permanent markings then peeling of the sticker would do the trick.
Etching glass leaves a permanent identification number on the glass but even that has it's limits.
