Re: NUMMI Completes Final Vehicle Production (ColonelPanic)

Yes, that's the mold for the GT front bumper. The standard front bumper has its own mold. It's a conventional mold, there's nothing fancy going on here.

Re: (shfd739)

The Vibes and Corollas are built on the same line. One after another.The person at whatever workstation may have a box of Corolla horns on the left and a box of Vibe horns on the right. Whatever the manifest hanging on the car says, that's what you grab and put on.

FYI, if anyone cares...That "30" represents the day of the month this car was built and on what shift. I'm going to guess January in this case. The month is on your Cert. label in the drivers door jam.I'm not sure about the color. Red=day shift, Blk=night shift or vise versa.
