My 04 is missing the build date on that sticker. A friend here at work has a 03 and you can easily see it on his. But on my 04, its like it was left off the sticker.

WOW - please post those huge pics in your gallery
made my dsl pro not feel so professional

MINE on my 03 X is on the drivers side "valve" cover near the rear of the engine...
I had to put my eyes just above the level of the fender and look thru the triangle made by the hood and hood support and twist JUST SO to be able to see it...
once I got my video camera out though it was easier to find it..

Gt-358, your engine build date is the middle sequence of numbers on the bottom: 210604, which is June 21, 2004.
