Is there a way to tell the color code from the VIN?

[jhnyct]

No. On the new generation catalogs, we are finally able to decode some interior colors on the newer models with the VIN. I have been told that they are working on getting the exterior colors in the next year. They are attempting to connect our catalogs with Hondas database in Japan.

Maybe there should be a sticky thread on this subject. I had the same question when I joined the site.

CB7 actually is a acronym for "Cool boyz 7" a early 1990's / late 1980's boy band from holland that had little success in Europe. They were almost unheard of in the US except for a elite group of fans that called themselves the Coolbeez (not to be mistaken with the cheese). One of these "Coolbeez" happened to be a pilot for Japan air. During a flight in the winter of 1989, Soichiro Honda, was flying from Disney world. As they passed over the Sierra mountains there was severe turbulence. Before the turbulence the pilot had been listening to "Cool boyz 7" aka "CB7" on his sony tape deck with speaker. When the turbulence hit the tape deck fell to the floor of the beoing 747 with a clatter. "Cool Boyz 7" began blasting from the tape deck, the pilot could not reach the tape deck to shut it off. At this point the turbulence was growing more severe so he decided to alert the passengers that everything was ok, he knew full well that everyone was going to here "CB7's" hit "You make my 2 liter feel seksy". What he didnt know was the historic event that was going to occur from his reckless placement of the tapedeck. Soichiro Honda heard something, he heard something so amazing, so moving that he wanted to commemorate it, but how? There was the new inspire that was about to be released. "AH YES" he shouted, he would give the new inspire the VIN code of "CB7".



And thats how babies are made.
