Default PPF Vin Location??

Does anyone have a picture of where the PPF vin number is stamped into??

I have a 96 miata and until I learned that the front bumper had a different vin than the rest of the car (I assume it was damaged and the previous owner replaced with a new one) I want to find all the vins.

I was able to locate all of them except the

"PPF, top side roughly in center (stamped letters)"

There's no VIN on the PPF. I just spent like 10 minutes looking for it on the PPF I broke from my '99.

If he was just screwing with us, that was a good one. Glad I had a spare or I woulda been under the car looking for it, lol.

Thats what I figured (after a couple hours of fighting to find it), but how come it says that on every "where are the vins" threads?

Used Miata Inspection List

Front drivers side on dash under windshield (plate)
Door jamb next to strike plate on both sides (sticker)
Door next to latch on both sides (sticker)
Fire wall (1/4" tall stamped letters on welded plate)
Hood (sticker)
Front fender in water run-off gully on both sides (sticker)
Inside front bumper, passenger side, just under turn signal (sticker)
Trunk (sticker)
Inside rear drivers side fender just in front of bumper under gas fill hose (sticker)
Passenger side of aluminum oil pan (riveted metal plate)
PPF, top side roughly in center (stamped letters) <---
