rpo codes should be on the rear glove box or in the arm rest compartment it will have a list of 3 digit codes, if it says 1le than it is

Re: is it a real 1LE

Be sure the VIN on the SPID (RPO label) matches the one on the car just to confirm it's 100% correct.
It's not uncommon for the part the label is on to be swapped from another ride over the years. In that case it would be useless.

Re: is it a real 1LE

Also I would strongly consider verifying the 1LE specific parts, like the 12" front brakes, and aluminum driveshaft. Although these things could be changed by any owner, its a tell tale sign. Also the Aluminum driveshaft was available without the 1LE...
