Yea I've got the whole gutter piece with my stamped vin number, my car is matching numbers, but Im not sure if i should weld the numbers back in, or just keep the old gutter, Im leaning towards keeping the gutter in the shop.Your VIN# was on the piece that you cut out....
I repaired mine in similar fashion. Forking out the dough for a complrte quarter wasn't in the cards. Looks like a good repair!
