hey i tried searching for this and this is the closest i came up with.



where does the VIN number sticker go on the front bumper?

how do i check if the front bumper is the OEM factory?

thanks in advance.

Looks OEM to me...

 

it is under the black steel plate on the top with the screws going through it (remove the screws and compare the vin to the one on the dash), and any bumper that has the INTEGRA indent is oem (the one in the pic is oem) Also is that a shell you are thinking of buying? If so how much? I would like to get a ballpark of what a py shell is worth (I have two of them)

Depends on the shape it's in obviously, there's no going rate on them, it just depends on what it still has on it, among lots of other things...

I would imagine that if you had a clean shell, with all the original parts (interior, suspension, etc) and all it was missing was the motor, you could still sell it for a pretty penny.

Funny thing about our cars is, it seems like the engine is actually the least desirable piece of the equation. (seeing as how an ITR engine is easy to come by, as opposed to seats, or suspension)

 

a little ot, but i had sent my car down to a reputable shop in my area to get my suspension swapped out when i bought the apex'i coilovers, somehow forgot my factory susp there, went back a week later to pick it all up, and the owner said that they "turfed" my suspension. hightly unlikely because this is a tuner shop, im 99% sure they got sold, what do you guys think i should tax him for it. it was oem susp with apprx 90 000 km.

thanks for the input!

not trying to be smartass, but the black steel plate is actually plastic.
and just like you say, can somebody confirm if the VIN number is supposed to be under or on of top of that black steel / plastic plate....

anybody.

PS, i cant help with the shell price, thats not the car that i am looking to buy.

 

List the details for the shell in questions.

Example:
-Clean title
-Full interior
-Matching Badge
-Matching Odometter
-5-Lug in tact
-etc
