Just recently decrypted all of my RPO codes and I was actually surprised that the car has Aluminum Bumper supports. I highlighted and Italicized everything I though may be on the "slightly rare list" LOL

I know the Astro Roof cars aren't really abundant as well as the Blackout Package.

One thing I found odd is it is listed as two tone, yet my car isn't, and shows no signs of repaint..

Let me know what you think? Thanks

Well, it does say that it was born as a two tone. So unless you're the original owner and can't verify that it was born as a one color then........
 
The WO2 is the blacked out trim package and those other codes are the individual pieces of blacked out trim.

As above, I may have come from the factory as a two tone. Look in the door jams, and the jam of the deck lid for clues. I do know I don't remember seeing a lot of WO2 two tone cars. They are usually chrome.
FE3 is in with every Y56(T pkg)
CF5 is fairly rare. I would think less than 20% of production, maybe someone has numbers or something to sustantiate a different guess.

I see primary color astral silver. Is your car silver?

I know, which is what is driving me nuts.

When I go for paint I want to do it the color it came. Per the RPO number 15U it's suppose to be Astral Silver primary exterior color which leads me to believe it also has a secondary color in addition to the D68 Code. Like you said, I'm not the original owner.

Would you happen to know what color went with Astral silver?

Thx. I assumed that the other codes coincided with the W02 code.

Door Jams are the same color of the car. As well as Under hood.

Here is a. Picture of the car.

Original owner?
From the looks of the above, trunk jam wouldnt show anything.
Looks like a nice ride.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I am not. I was 9 when the car was built. Lol.

The door Jams on the lower portion of the door are the same color as well.

Can you possibly tell me what color may car is right now? The only code I can find is the Primary color on the RPO sticker.

Look on the metal cowl tag near the drivers wiper, it may have 2 paint codes there.

One would have a U suffix and one an L suffix for upper and lower.

Thx man.

Once I get the car back, I will check.

Engine is getting torn down right now.

Look real close around door mirrors,handles etc. and see if there are any tape lines.If so loosen those parts and see what color is behind them.Also maybe pull door panels and look behind them.

Per the above I have to wait till I get the car back.
