I had my rear bumper off and my number did not match the VIN either There is also another embossed number on the driver side below the AC compressor Nothing matches. I was worried as well As to answer your question. I don't know .. I would assume that they SHOULD match But maybe our cars were made by the same employee that drew the magic market elephant on somebodies body panels inside! :-) Ken 005541 www.odoc.ca <http://www.odoc.ca/> >I disassembled the rear fascia from my car last evening and found number written in black marker on the rear >crossmember of the frame. >The numbers were 3581.
