    Finding the build date?

    Any idea how I can get the build date on my Accord? Maybe from the VIN?

    Need to find out so I can order the correct exhaust as I'm 1981 - a crossover year for the exhausts!

    Seatbelt build date is in the lower part of the belt, stamped in a white cloth, you can see an aproximate date of build.
    So many reasons why

    I think if its from the first six months of the year stamped it is from that year but if its from 7-12 then its the next year right?

    Well, the seatbelts are made earlier and sent to the assembly plant to be fitted to the car, i think that the difference between the seatbelt date, and the build date, should be of only a few months.
