Law Enforcement Act Parts Marking

In 1984, Congress passed this act which requires that certain new cars and their replacement parts be marked in a way that would prevent theft rings and "chop shops" from disposing of parts easily. Porsche complied with the law by attaching stickers bearing the vehicle identification number to the front and rear bumpers, front fenders, rear quarter panels, both doors, the hood and rear hatch or lid, and the engine and transmission housings of the following cars:

Since the alarm system is standard equipment on 1990 model Porsches, this parts marking on new cars is no longer required. Replacement parts that fit the above models will continue to be marked with the replacement parts stickers.
