RPO code questions

So I am finally getting around to decoding my '86's RPO codes.

I have questions about these codes.

B67 : CONTAINER, RADI0 CASSETTE TAPES

Would this be the cassette holder that came in the center console of some cars? If so my car has no traces of it.

B87 : ORNAMENTATION, EXTR EMBLEM FENDER---DELETE

?

B97 : ORNAMENTATION, EXTR MLDG, LOWER ACCENT

?

D88 : DECAL, STRIPE, SPORT

?

E9Z ??

WS1??

WS8??

YS1??

ZV1?

6ZX?

7ZW??

8NB??

81A??

9NB??

Thanks!!!

I don't know Firebirds real well, I can only guess.

81A/ D88- IIRC 85-87 TAs had a goofy checkerboard pattern stripe just above the GFX. I don't know which RPO that would be. (For Camaro, I think D88 was the stripe RPO for the IROC striping). I have a feeling 81A is for pinstriping.
B97- Door bumper moldings (?)
B67- It is a cassette holder. I can't remember where it fit.
B87- Exterior Emblem delete from the front fenders. I guess the buyer didn't want anyone to know he had a TA.

WS1 and WS8 are probably "Value packages" option groups, dealer discounts, etc...

Could B87 be the 5.0 liter decals on the gfx?

Thank you for the cassette holder confirmation. Now I just need to find one.

What I'm trying to figuer out is whether my car came with the Dot Matrix stripe or not. The car has half of it's original paint and I can't see any traces of one being there.

Sorry I can't help you by looking thru my build sheets Alex.
I go up to 1985, then start again in 1989.
