The manufacturing label on the drivers door has it. Also your RPO label inside your console.

Correct, The body panels for a range of years, I know 87 - 89 and I am pretty sure 1990 also has them, my 91 did not... But on each panel, the fneders, quarters, doors, hood, and hatch, as mentioned above they had stickers... now with a little time and little effert you can reproduce them on any PC.

I think what he is looking for is another metal stamped VIN that they place in an odd area that few people would find...

Exactly but from what the local PD told me last night I have nothing to worry about so I am just not going to worry about it.
