It's also located in a label behind the license plate. I think the engine/transmission may also be stamped with the car's "serial number" (the last seven digits of the VIN). My 2006 was accidentally given a 2007 VIN at the factory, and it took a lot of effort to get all the labels, the plate, and the strut tower stamping fixed.

Should be on just about every major body panel. I.e the doors, trunk lid, and on the body itself where the tire pressure + gross weight sticker is. Always a nice way to check and see if the cars been in an accident to the point where it needed new body panels.
