jaed2 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I was just wondering where the vin tags are located on the second generation LS. How many are there in total? are there ones on the rear fender and trunk lid? how about the front and rear door jams? Thanks for the info!

djspawn00 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 My gs had VIN ecthing on the windows and a bunch of other places, I don't know if the car came like that or if the previous owner who was a leasee paid to have it done. The usual places for the VIN that I have noticed are the dash, firewall in engine bay, drivers side door jamb... and the engine itself if I'm not mistaken. Are you planning on stealing a car and scratching out the numbers...? cause thats a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaed2 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Ha! not trying to steal any cars, just trying to figure out if my trunk lid has been replaced. I'm actually talking about the little vin tags that toyota puts on various car body parts to prevent theft(?) and also make it easier to detect if a car has been in a major accident. I think they are officially called "theft security tags" but don't quote me. I have the lexus vin tags on: 1. each of the doors 2. each front fender 3. hood 4. drivers side door jam ...That i can find. Just don't see one on my trunk lid and wasn't sure if the lid had been replaced or removed as i'm the second owner. Thought it might be under the lid liner or maybe it was never there? Also, are there ever vin tags on the bumper covers? if so, where? do any other LS owners have them on their trunk lids or rear fenders? Any pics? Thanks!

blake918 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I just checked my trunk lid, and I did not see a VIN tag on it. I don't know if it fell off, if there isn't one in the first place, or if it's hidden behind the trim; my trunk has never been replaced. The last time I took the lining of the trunk out, I vaugely remember seeing vin tags on the fenders. I'm not 100% on that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaed2 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Really appreciate you taking a look! thanks very much! I also heard once that these tags are under the luggage lid trim so maybe it's true. just wasn't sure. thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
