The 4C is a low-volume sports car with a carbon fiber tub construction. The VIN plate sits at the base of the driver's side windshield, and a door jamb sticker carries the full number. The carbon tub structure means there's no traditional firewall stamp in a metal engine bay, instead, a secondary label is affixed near the mid-mounted engine access panel.
