This is NOT a GM option. None of them came that way off the assembly line.
VIN etching on the glass is a dealer provided service (at extra charge) at the time you buy the car. Supposed to be a theft deterent.

it is not a factory option, dealers put it on as a dealer option (as y'all have already said.) i have put a couple thousand of those on cars when working for a dealership. the reason it is a "theft deterrent" is because (in theory) windows are one of the most expensive items for car theifs to replace, and if one window is broken, they will have to replace them all so as to not have only one with out the etch. i think that it doesnt make sense personally, but that is the logic behind it.
