but he told me Tom (who also wasn't returning my phone calls) told him he must have accidentally picked up the wrong dash piece. I said bullshit.
Exactly what happened. I already spoke to the owner of classic as well as the service manager. The little piece of plastic that holds that vin plate needs to be swapped over. It was something that was removed for the cage install, I couldn't snap it back in after the cage install, so I looked at that piece on Classic's car to see how it was installed. Its my fault for getting them mixed up. Sorry.

Glad that you also made everyone aware, that this wasn't anything to do with TopSpeed but a dumbass mistake on my part while installing the roll cage in your car.
