Nice find! I have a spare new seat cover for you if you are interested. Dreaded ATK stripped another quad for their new ATK and I got the cover.... The ball joint popped out of the a-arm and caused the damage you are seeing on the a-arm. Boomer should have your headlight covers in stock, if not I may have a used set laying around.

PS: Two of the numbers/letters are wrong in your VIN, look at it again where the G4 is.....

I don't think so. I tried to put 4-1 offset rims on my stock '03 a-arms, and that is what would have resulted if I had been dumb enough to roll it. With those a-arms you must use the 3-2 offset. I think honda has weird 3.5-1.5 or something like that, and what you are seeing is the resulting damage.

I stand corrected. I have not used the '03 arms to much extent. I prefer the '02 arms and aftermarket.

I will check the VIN number again when I get home... I have a rather dated list at work. There are two VIN number series for the Glamis with less than 30 in each run.

Sweet!....Just having the 007 vin number is cool, and only two of those were made.
It is great that you have rescued it. I have 006 here, and a few others....... some pics:
email or call for parts and upgrades.

It looks like the border chrome you can buy at any parts store.
