Default RS 8.0 Badge Number

Hi guys! New to the site, been lurking for a while. Second TC which is the 8.0 and I really love it. I had a 2010, and it was just way too boring but served it's purpose.

I just bought this car about 2 weeks ago, and it is missing the badge on the steering wheel that shows what number out of 2000 it is. The Toyota dealership said they talked to Scion and I should be getting the badge soon. In the meantime I've been trying to figure what number I may possibly have. On all of the VIN badges, there is a 37 underneath. Just wondering, could this be the number it is?

Guess it doesn't matter in the long run but just curious.

Lotta good stuff on here and I hope to contribute. Thanks!

Not sure how the vin correlates. I'll have to look in my door and see. Welcome to the club. I'm 184. :D

Checked the badge under the windshield and the one in the door. I have no numbers outside of the vin near them.

you're welcome. Sorry you are part of the group of missing #'s. I see you joined our facebook group. You'll get a lot of knowledge outta us as well. Even though scion has left a bad taste in our collective mouth's from offering our RS color as an available color on the 14 as well as our 5axis body kit by rebadging it as scion. They advertised the RS 8.0 as having exclusive Absolute Red paint and 5Axis body kit. It was a slap in our faces.

Very true, I was a little disheartened to say the least.

Joined! Is there a map with the #'s all laid out?

Always kinda curious where the rest of them ended up, I heard only 120-ish made it to Canada?

Besides the Tesla Model S I'm planning on getting, I'll keep my RS 8 till it dies, then I'll replace it.
