Nope... keep looking.

It's some weird interior options sheet or something you found.

I would say yes it is a build sheet. It's probably an interior build sheet. Anything used by the workers to know what was to be installed on each individual car should be considered a build sheet (line sheet at the aircraft assy plant I used to work at). By this time in production there were probably more than one. The SPID may have also taken the place of the main build sheet.

people have found it inbetween the rear GFX, in the front bumper area, under the carpet, on top of the gas tank, in door panels, on top of the headliner, etc.... it could be anywhere.

I just pulled small peices out of the rear hatch/plastic panel cover.
Kinda weird I thought, since there is not lots of room there. Only got a few lines, and it was glued in with the black mastic crap from glueing the glass to the metal hatch section.

You'll know it when you see it, and it looks like the one from my 83T/A.

I think it was under one of the front seats.
It's been awhile ago, so that's the best I remember.

I just got a 88 iroc, and the first thing i noticed was the RPO/ SPID(?) sticker adhered to the top of the airbox lid, from what i heard they are hard to locate for the most part, guess i got lucky

The SPID decal is as common as dirt. Most cars still have them, except for those who have had their consoles or console lids or whatnot replaced. The build sheet is considerably more rare.

If the VIN# is correct for your car, someone removed it from either the console, or rear hatch compartment lid. That's where it should be. Yes, the spid sticker is common but worth a lot more than dirt and will verify vehicle build.
