Does anyone else's VIN start with a 4S3 instead of 4F3?
I kinda messed up my mirror a while back and was calling around to junk yards looking for the right color mirror, and every time i gave them the VIN the person on the phone would say "you mean 4F3 right?" One of them said that 4S3 denotes a right hand drive car. So i was just kinda curious on that.

Re: VIN numbers
There's either a US-built car, which will start with 4S, or a Japan-built car, which will start with JF. There is no 4F designation.

Re: VIN numbers
Ah, i must have misunderstood what they were saying on the phone. Cool beans, so the 4s is us made, i assume illinois or where ever their fancy factory is. Thanks for the info!
