Default Production Codes

Writing down all the production codes I found in the glove compartment for my 03 Coupe. Found what most of the codes ment via websites but have not found some.
Wondering if anyone here would know what they mean.
1L3
R7C
SLM
VM3
158

I'm only in my 3rd week of owning this Vette after selling my C4. Loving it big time over my C4.

Here is what I found in some of my files:

1L3 - Trim, Interior Design (L3) (Base w/AQ9) Sport Seats

R7C - Dealer Authorizes Order Release (No Further Changes)

SLM - Stock Order Processing Code (Replaced 1AY, circa 2001)

VM3 - Label Information, Consumer Contains BPR IMP Standard

The only one I could not find a description for was the 158. Sounds like a leather seat code, but you may want to double check and make sure it really is a 158 and not a 1SB.

Thanks bunches and you're right. It is 1SB instead of 158. Guess that's the reason I'm starting on cataract surgery tomorrow.



Again , thank you.
