So, your choices are:
A) Keep driving the legit car with the damaged VIN plate - some risk, but you are in the right.
B ) Tamper with the VIN, in the hopes that your fraud will be less hassle than the current state.
The VIN stickers and plates are designed to be tamper evident, so I would not attempt that. Cops know what they are looking for.
I am not sure about 1995 models, but the VIN is several places on modern cars... if you can show several of them, and if there are a few digits on the plate that can be read, you should be able to convince them.
You might want to get a letter from the DMV to document the damaged VIN plate... or a notorized statement from the shop that damaged it.
