Arrow Find out your build date.

Not sure what this is for really. But underneath the front bumper cover, where the air goes up into the radiator, they're be 4 circles with numbers on them.

The first one is shift (1,2,3). The second and third one is day (0,1,2,3), (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9). And the last one is month (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) They're kinda lie embeded dials.

Mine born on date was January 28, 1st shift.

And if everyone already knew about this... I suck.

I think you are confusing that with the date that the plastic bumper part was made.

Now you know when your bumper cover was born.

Can't you find your cars' "born on" date on the end of the drivers side door?

On the door im pretty sure that it shows the month and the year. I do not know if this is the date it was done or finished or what, but yes the production date is on the door, and also somehow you can check what plant it was assembled at, i think through the vin number!

You suck. As many times as I have changed my fog lights bulbs, I memorized mine long ago. However, I too couldn't figure out if I was to celebrate my bumper cover's b'day or the car's.
