Default Question about VIN numbers...

One (of many) things that was suggested to me when looking for a new, read used, car is to check to see if the VIN number plates are still on all their original locations of the cars body. At least to help determine if the car had been damaged somehow, because not everything shows up on Carfax reports.

Yes, I understand if a part was replaced, people can sometimes take the number off the old part and put it on the new one, but that's besides the point.

Can you guys help me out and tell me where the numbers are located on the Z, besides the obvious one in the windshield? On my current car theres one on each door frame, bumpers, rear hatch, the frame of the car in the engine bay, etc. I was looking at an 07 if it matters at all.

Any help would be appreciated. I know this question seems kind of random but I'd like to know...if there's a thread on this already, please let me know! I wasnt able to find one.

Some of the locations, you are not supposed to know.

As you can see, the VIN is only stamped into the back of the firewall and on the standard plate on the dash in front of the driver.

On my old 02 Civic Si, there were vin numbers stamped on each fender as well as doors/hatch/hood. I haven't look at my Z that close, but makes me wonder. I'll check tomorrow and let you know
