I'd like to see the RPO for pinstriping!

Pinstriping is an aftermarket or dealer add/on. The lower body striping is the only body striping that was installed by the factory and has an RPO code.

My uncle has a dealer & you know he pays a guy that does nothing but install those. I dont understand the mentality but dealers think that stuff like this will make theyr car more appealing.
I allways take them off, first thing on every car I ever owned.

if you know what those are tell me. The upper stripes are in the codes. My 86 sc had them in the codes and my buddies RS has them in the codes.

scottmoyer

90a is not the upper stripe code. It is the lower stripe code. The accent stripes are on the bottom. Now I know you don't have those colors as lower stripes because that is not the correct color combo for 89. The RPO decoder says that that is the color combo for that code in 1991. In 1989, it was something different. GM reuses the codes from year to year. It's still a decal color code, but not the one on your car.

D88 is the upper stripes then.

i was looking on your build sheet. You have the d88 sport stripe thats the iroc stripes you have nothing like the 90A option in your codes. Maybe the guy that has the same upper stripes can back me up with his codes.

Adrenaline

I had the upper stripe on my 84 z28. red car, with black stripes. i totaled it, therefore i cant check any rpo codes for you, nor do i hae any info whther they are stock, or not...

camaroSC

My 88 SC has pinstriping... It was a dealer option- Pinstripes aren't factory- The only striping that GM put on these cars was the lower perimeter decal.

You keep posting your RPO's... The key word in the D88 RPO description is "decal"... Pin stripes simply are not decals

i work at a buick, pontiac, GMC dealer in NJ- we have a guy come in and do the pin striping GM will rarely ever put a pin stripe on a car. also for alot of options its cheaper for the dealer to do anyway. last week we had a new lacross- it was a base model, they had a guy put a cloth top on it, leather seats, and upgrade the stereo to make it the higher package- and they can sell it for the same price- but its ALOT cheaper to have it done in house. in my expeireince i have never seen a 3rd gen with a pinstripe from the factory- all dealer or owner installed. just my 2 cents not trying to make a fight.

scottmoyer

Dude!!! Relax. Not a very smart way to start off on these boards! If you reread my posts, you'll see that I'm trying to explain things to you. The RPO decoders found online refer to the color of the stripe followed by a "91". That means the color is for 1991, not 1989. The D88 denotes that you have a stripe and the 90A specifies the colors on that stripe. RPO codes break down specifics. You also have UQ1 and UX1. One says you have the stereo provisions and the other states what stereo you have.

If you want answers to your posts, listen to the answers and learn from them. We have been here longer than you and know more than you.

Scott for one thing my car is a 89 two 91 was z28 no IROC-Z emblems on the outside of the car period. Im not exactly positive but i dont think any 91 had stripes around the bottoms at all. My code isnt for a 91 its for a 89 unless i have a freakishly rare car in that case i would be happy to have a 89 with 91 IROC-Z stripes that never existed. Just becuase i havent been on here that long doesnt mean i dont know a lot about these cars. If my stripes are dealer fine. They still look good. I have owned 4 total thirdgens my brother owned 3 between me and my brother and two buddies weve had 12 of these cars. we currently still have 6. Were not car stupid none of our cars has ever been in a shop unless we needed something welded. The pinstripe issue is about the only thing i wasnt for sure about on these cars.

oh that (91) at the end of some codes doesnt stand for the year scott. its at the end of a lot of the codes if thats where you got that from thats not what its for.

All this fussing about stripes.

I'm not sure I follow about the "(91)" code thing. If he has the code, and his car is an '89, what does the 91 mean?

TraviZ

iTrader: (2)

nothing in particular, gm just desginated all options following a pattern of A01- A99 and then B01-B99, or very similiar.

scottmoyer

You're not getting it!

I know you have an 89. Again, read what is being said before you post. I have referenced your car being an 89 in two responses to you.

that is not the correct color combo for 89. The RPO decoder says that that is the color combo for that code in 1991. In 1989, it was something different

The RPO decoders found online refer to the color of the stripe followed by a "91". That means the color is for 1991, not 1989.


I also never said anything about a 91 having stripes or decals. What I did say was that GM reuses RPO codes. In 1991, the RPO code 90A designated the colors you mentioned. Camaros did not use that RPO code in 1991. With that color combo, it was for another GM car. In 1989, the color codes for 90A were diferent than 1991.

Most websites use a published list of GM RPO codes. Since they have changed over the years, those sites list what GM has given them. For someone so knowledgable, I would think that you'd know this.

In 1989, the only stripe options available for a white car with grey interior was silver/yellow. I have not been able to access your site since your original post until tonight. The stripes on the bottom of your car are not factory either. White cars had 3 different stripe options available based on interior color. black/gold with tan interior, black/red with red interior or silver/yellow with grey or black interior.

Also, since you are so smart, why don't you tell me what the number behind the RPO code stands for? Enlighten us all!

Also, your probably gonna tell the other new people that run their RPO codes and find E72 that they have a special limited edition limo Camaro. In case you're unaware, E72 designates an 18 inch body length extension. Again, this is proof that GM reuses RPO codes because there are plenty of times this has been asked, but all 3rd gen Camaros are about the same length with minor GFX variances.

Because the site doesn't always work, here:

Such as this ?....

umm yes.

Keith5

The (91) I was talking about wasn't in the RPO code, it was the 91 at the end of the description.

STRIPE COLOR, ACCENT, TWO TONE, GOLD/BLACK (91)

But from something someone else said, I'm guessing that in 1991 that particular code meant Gold/Black, but in 1989 it didn't necessesarily mean gold/black?

scottmoyer

At least you understand what I'm saying!!

1BADROC

iTrader: (1)

Ok Scott i get what your saying but, the fact is i have the code 90A i have looked on every site i could possibly find to see if there was other colors for that code the only colors are gold/dk auburn. My stripes are original my whole car is original except for the mods I did to the engine and rearend. Its never been repainted and none of the stripes have been replaced. The guy that owned the car before i got it never even had the passenger side mirror fixed where it got banged up some how. The place i bought it from got it from the original owner kieth5 knew a guy that worked at the place and you can ask him if they replaced the stripes or painted the car they didnt. The cars appearance is the way it appeared when it was bought from the dealership back in 89. It just doesnt look quite as good as it did then but its pretty close.

TraviZ

iTrader: (2)

i can believe it. theirs plenty of other odd third gens out their.

Keith5

Hey now, don't put words in my mouth. True I'm farily certain the car has it's original paint, but I'm not positive on that.

Also, who knows, maybe the original stripes were damaged at some point and someone got the car restriped. It's possible isn't it?

Seems like the point of argument here is what the code "90A" means in 1989. No matter what it meant in 1991, what did it mean in 1989?

And it was said that only certain stripe colors came with certain color interiors. So if he has grey interior he HAS to have had a certain color strip from the factory right? Well even if that is the case, that doesn't mean that is what happened. My Father's truck(88 Chevy) was supposed to have 2.73 gears, but it originally had a set of 3.73's in it. It was wrong when it came off of the dealership lot back in 1987. He found out because the speedo was off by like 10 miles per hour or so. The dealership changed the gears to 2.73's like they were supposed to be.

So if a truck could "accidentally" come with completely the wrong axle ratio than it's RPO says it was supposed to have, and different than it's speedo gear was calibrated for. Is it hard to believe that his car might have had the wrong color stripe for a car with grey interior??

I do think they are the original stripes and it's the original paint, I never looked that close or worried about it that much before now, maybe I'll look closer the next time I see the car.

By the way, you mispelled my name!!!

scottmoyer

It is very possible for the wrong rear gears to end up in a truck because those gears were available that year on that vehicle. It was just a mistake that happened on the line. These things happen.

An IROC-Z came with only a 2 stripe decal. This was for all years. I could see the wrong color stripes being installed, but only with other stripes available in 1989. The company that installed the upper pinstripe probably installed the lower accent stripes. The top stripe on the 89 is silver. I notice yours is also. The dealer might have had the lower yellow stripe removed and a double colored stripe installed under it. Here's a pic of an 89 IROC-Z with the correct stripe.



I also noticed that the top silver stripe on your car is a fade instead of solid. The factory original stripes are solid on an IROC-Z from 1985-1990. This is probably a dealer modification.

well you may be right. i actually have3 stripes. the top stripe is like the iroc-z emblem. middle stripe is a silver like color. bottom is dark auburn. stripes match the iroc emblem perfectly. what year had those colors? the stripes definetly came on the car from the dealer.

1BADROC

iTrader: (1)

the bottom 2 stripes are actually smaller than those i think in your pic look like it anyway. In all seriousness if my stripes didnt come from the dealer someone did an excellent job of it because there is no evidence what so ever that those stripes has been changed. i know for a fact its never been repainted.
