Yesterday I had the headlight assemblies out to replace the DRLs with PIAA super duper whites. I noticed an inspection sticker on the headlight assembly with an 11/7 (12) date. I knew from the VIN the car was a Nov 2012 build, but I wonder if the 11/7 date would be the acutual day it was completed, as I assume the headlight assemblies are pretty close to the end of the assembly process.
build date question

That was the day Stanly built the fixture, not the day it was put into the car

There was a label, slightly smaller than a 3x5 card, in the glovebox at delivery. It's kind of a "mini" build sheet. It was provided for you to peel and stick into the lower section of page 23 in the warranty booklet. It has the actual build date listed. (see pic below)
If you don't have this sticker, there is another one applied inside the spare tire well in front of the rear bumper. (see pic below)

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead but I was led here from the turbo info thread and I wanted to say your car was built on my birthday as well!! Quite a coincidence!

Why are ppl reluctant to post build time, if that's what the time indicates?
I see that Salsaman06 blanked his out on the pic of his sticker.
My car was built 8 days before my bday lol!
