Default Door vin numbers on CPO missing

Hi guys,

Recently bought a CPO GS 350 F-SPORT. Was wondering and I've looked into this in this forum, the last person that posted about it was 4 years ago. All the vin tags are gone in my car. Is that a problem? The other thread said there was no vin in his 2013 ES.

Thank you in advance.

Does the VIN inside the engine compartment under the windshield wipers still exist? Does that match the VIN under the windshield?

I'm pretty sure it's illegal to remove VIN plates and/or sell a vehicle without them.

I looked at three 2014 GS 350 before I bought my CPO from a Lexus dealer. All were missing the door VINs. I thought it was odd at first but 3 out of 3 car, maybe it's under the door seals or something

Yeap the newer Lexus cars don't have the vin stickers, I thought so too they were missing but it's not.
