Where are 3'rd Gen Firebird RPO codes located?

I know the Camaro code stickers are either in the center console map box or in the trunk area storage box, but where are the firebirds located? I have looked all over the vehicles in the wrecking yards and I have yet to find where they are placed. Your help will be greatly appreciated!

84,

My '86 TA has the RPO label in the center console compartment. I've seen quite a few with the label in the rear storage compartment door. You know, the "handy" little locking compartment just left of the rear cargo well.

I know this doesn't help, but mine's also in the center console compartment also. I'm not sure why they wouldn't be found anywhere in the junker cars. I wouldn't think they would all be removed from the vehicles, but you never know I suppose

On my 91' Firebird, they are located where Vader said, on the door of the locking, rear compartment on the driver's side all the way in the back.

Ya know, 9 out of 10 f-bodies sitting in junkyards don't have that damn RPO sheet anywhere to be found. I'll find the remants of it.. like, where it was pulled from the console, or a gluemark inside the rear compartment.

I guess people rip 'em out when they send the cars to the yard? Talk about frickin' annoying!
