Is it an option on Scions to have window etching? I have it but my salesman says I shouldnt because it isnt available. Did I get lucky or is he wrong or what?

what u mean give a little more detal on what that is exactly.... :tap:

the vin number is etched onto the windows...it makes it harder to part it out if the vehicle is stolen

you can pay a dealership to etch your car or go to the police and have it done for free .

i wish i would have know about the feebie. I paid $125 for mine, at the dealership. The dealer told me that i would get a discount from my insurance agency. I paid it, then found out that i only got a $10 credit for having it done. Bastards.

well i just stopped by the dealership and it turns out that my windows were accidently etched so i wasnt charged for them...so now i get a free 15% off of my insurance

You could do it yourself if you were ambitious. Pick up some etch cream at your local craft store.

On a side note, graffiti writers use etch liquid in their markers to hit window tags that can't be buffed.

Dude!!! I've never heard of that before! That's messed up!!

:yawn:

The VIN is not etched in mine, but theres a number that is unique to my car which Toyota keeps track of. It was free.

Too bad most of their pages aren't working...

I just found out that in New York City, VIN etching is done for free by the Police department. I'm gonna call tomorrow for schedules
