Now there's a wonderful piece of useless trivia. LOL. Thanks!

 

[toykilla]

hey now.. i think this is good information

 

[DiRN]

Yeah, I can't even tell you how many times I've gone to Courtesy's Web site to look this up.

send me your vin number and I will tell you everything you need to know about your car...

parts wize...

 

[nismokid]

Looks good, the only thing I think might be off is the first digit of the serial number. I'm pretty sure that the 1st of the 6 digits is if you have the side airbags or not. 1 means you don't have it and 0 means you do.

 

[ANXIOUZ]

That might be a good point. I have the side bags on my 03 and my serial does start with a 1.

 

[smoothz]

If the rumors are true about the last 6 digits being the same as the build number, then I have 1 of the first 10000 made.

i'm in the market for a 350 so this is helpful because so many peeps don't specify the platform. I found the perfect car however. '03 silverstone touring w/ track wheels and brakes, burnt orange leather, navigation, borla true dual catback, nismo intake (half of it) w/ JWT popcharger.
