If in so doing, hopefully they require the original plate so as nothing funny can happen.

They even sell the special rivets. |
Martiauto does have several proof-of-ownership procedures in place and you best have your ducks in a row when replacing a Data Plate or yes, you could end up watching your confiscated car leave on the back of a tow truck just before you get a free ride to the Graybar Hotel (jail) & a phone call to your lawyer.
Most State MVD's require a serial number inspection with an ownership sale / Title transfer, esp an out-of-state transfer.
Just replacing the damaged paint with a decal is not an issue, unless you alter the factory stamped serial number or remove / replace the Data Plate with 'something else' that doesn't match the frame numbers.
Definitely hang on to any 'proof-of' paperwork if you replace a damaged or missing data plate.
