Great to hear. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. So the transmission didnt come with the VIN tag from the manufacturer?

Hello all,

Does a ‘97 canadian itr have VIN on all the same places as a ‘97 usdm itr (dash, firewall, trans, door jams, hood, trunk etc). I did some research and found mixed answers. Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the clarification. Did the 97-98 cdm itr have the 2 holes on the transmission that are used to screw on the green plate?

Thank you for the clarification. I also do not care for those interior pieces

I'm pretty sure our '97s were the same as US cars except for speedo in KPH and DRLs. What info are you looking for? I was thinking the same but wanted to confirm with a knowledgeable resource.

Interesting observation. Any more information on 1997 cdm itr’s is much appreciated

Thank you for the replies. Does anyone know the reason for no VINs on 97 itr’s?

Hello all,
I was wondering if the 1997 canadian itr came with VINs on the hood/trunk/bumpers/fenders?
Is there a VIN in the motor and trans (the green plate)?
I know there are VINs on the dash and firewall.
Thanks in advance
