How can I determine if my car would be equipped with these options or which one might be on car. What are some signs or what to look for..number's, markings, etc...


Thanks in advance for the help..

For an '88 the easiest thing to do would be to open your center console and look for the RPO codes on the tag that is affixed under there. Just make sure that the VIN on it matches your car in case it has been replaced at some point.

Oh yeah, and your sig shows that you have the 17" wheels that came with Z51 and Z52 also. So you've got one of htem as long as those are what came on it originally.

thanks I will look at that.. What should I look for or will it tell me?

Yeah, I have the 17's, mine still had the original tires on it still when I bought it... Not any more though... they were just a little hard and old....

You'll see Z51 or Z52 stamped right on there with a bunch of other ones.

Thanks for the info.... The only thing I don't see is the aux fan set up in the front for some reason..... Maybe I just did not look good enough...
