    Where are all the VIN stickers located at on a Priys V 2013. I only found the normal 2 (windshield and drivers piller). Non on hood, denders, doors or hatch like my 2008 and 2010. Carfax shows no accidents. Car at dealership too.

    Look on the front passenger side floor just below the seat. There should also be a cover there that you can remove that shows the VIN stamped in the unibody frame.

    Any stickers on your other cars were likely dealer add ons (such as a security or anti-theft package). Stickers are not put on hoods, fenders and doors at the factory level.

    That was what I found out. I guess my last 3 Priis were added by dealership.

    Having worked at a Toyota assembly plant during the 2000's, I do recall the VIN stickers being applied to the doors and hood in the Trim areas as soon as the bodies came down from the paint deck. Not sure if/why they stopped applying them.
