That's great! I like the idea of narrowing down a VIN based on observable features.
I have this working both for:
- Enter VIN --> get it's list of features
- Enter features --> get range of possibilities for VIN
...but Google Sheets is obnoxious about letting me copy the feature dropdowns into a standalone sheet that I can make available.
Will keep trying, and if all else fails, will just manually re-do that part.

I saw that!
I don't have a car yet, nor any knowledge whatsoever about original parts or viable replacements, but happy to organize what I have in any way I can to help you or whoever takes up that effort.
