17-character vehicle ID
Use the complete VIN exactly as shown on the vehicle or registration record. Letters I, O and Q are not normally used in a modern 17-character VIN.
A standard export-market VIN is commonly 17 characters. Japanese domestic-market and some older vehicles may instead use a shorter chassis or frame number. Either can start a fitment request.
Use the complete VIN exactly as shown on the vehicle or registration record. Letters I, O and Q are not normally used in a modern 17-character VIN.
For many Japanese domestic-market vehicles, share the model and serial combination, for example ACU35-0008791. Keep the hyphen if printed.
Use a clear photo when a character could be confused. A single incorrect character can route the request to the wrong vehicle configuration.
Check the plate visible through the windscreen on many export-market vehicles.
Look for the manufacturer label, firewall plate or stamped chassis area.
Compare the document with the vehicle before sending the identifier.
With your consent, a modern 17-character VIN is sent through this site to NHTSA vPIC for vehicle decoding, then compared with the published catalog as a candidate search. Frame numbers continue through private manual review. Neither path determines ownership or guarantees part compatibility without OE, year, side, connector and product-photo checks.
