I know they are on the dash board and some panels, but to be exact, where are they located?

 

on the drivers side, up front under the windshield you will see the little plate. (basically just like you said)

 

What about the trunk and quarter panels? IDK if it's been changed from year to year, but keep in mind this is a 2002 TL-S

 

yours should say it on the windshield too. i think its like that on ALL cars. are you sure youre looking into the car from the outside??

i also know there are a few other places, like inside the driver's side door and inside the manual.

 

The VIN stickers are on:
- all doors
- trunk lid
- hood
- both front fenders
- rear quarter panels (on the door jambs)
- front and rear bumpers

I think it's imprinted on the firewall.

There's a VIN sticker with the build date on the driver's door jamb.

I believe it's pretty standard for all Hondas since 1998 model year.

 

I think 260 is right.

 

i just ran out there and checked every spot he mentions and looks like its all there! great job 260hp!

 

My trunk VIN number is missing, and now confirms my suspicion that my car was hit previous to buying it. Check my thread out about this. https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/help-exorcise-people-115372/

 

Where on the bumpers are they located?

 

On the lip that is hidden, you can see it when you remove the bumper.

 

Always a good thing to know. Better late than never at all !
