If you want to be authentic, look in the console glove compartment for the RPO decal. If it's there, make sure the car VIN matches the stickers vin. From there, you can decipher the codes on this site for the original color schemes.

Re: 86 iroc badge questions

If the wheels have silver IROC-Z lettering in the center caps then Im pretty sure the decals should be silver as well.

Re: 86 iroc badge questions

The following from Subroc:

From the factory it went;

Gold wheels/gold door decals = gold center caps
Silver wheels/red decals = red center caps
Silver wheels/silver decals = silver center caps

The only way to get the gold centers was with gold wheels and decals. Silver and red centers came with silver wheels. And when i say what color the center cap is im referring to the lettering. All center caps from 85-87 should be black with the silver/red/gold iroc lettering. From 88-90 i think all the centers were the same and kind of a silverish color instead of black.

Re: 86 iroc badge questions

On the RPO label look for codes 86A & 86P.
86A is the code for silver/black stripes with silver IROC-Z door decals.
86P is the code for silver wheels.

Re: 86 iroc badge questions

Yes, for an '86 IROC the TPI plate on the rear bumper cover should be silver.
