Service parts identification label
Service parts identification label refers to the factory label that lists the RPO codes assigned to a specific Pontiac Fiero.
The label is used to identify factory-installed options, paint and trim information, drivetrain equipment, and other build information.
Overview
The service parts identification label is one of the most useful factory references on a Fiero. It can help determine how the car was originally equipped from the factory.
The label contains a list of three-character RPO codes. These codes identify factory options and equipment such as paint color, interior trim, transmission, audio system, glass, wheels, and other installed features.
Location
The service parts identification label is typically found on the car itself.
Location details may vary and should be documented with photos or model-year notes where possible.

Uses
The service parts identification label can be useful for:

- Comparing the car's current condition with its original configuration
Previous-owner changes
The presence or absence of equipment on the car today does not always prove how the car was originally built.
Many Fieros have been modified, repaired, repainted, swapped, or partially restored. The service parts identification label can help distinguish factory-installed equipment from later changes.
Missing or damaged labels
If the label is missing, damaged, painted over, or unreadable, factory configuration may need to be verified through other sources such as original documentation, window stickers, build sheets, previous owner records, or physical inspection.
Notes
RPO-code information should be verified carefully. Some codes were used across many GM vehicles, and meanings can vary by year, division, or application.
When documenting a specific Fiero, include photos of the label where possible, but avoid exposing personal information if the image also contains registration, VIN, or owner-identifying details.
