Pop the hood there's a plate riveted near the radiator shroud there's a bunch of numbers write em down then go to Thirdgen.org and they have a code/RPO decoder I'll try and get you a link.

http://www.thirdgen.org/rpodecoder

Updated with the link.

I knew it was somewhere back there. It has only been about 10 year since I have worked on one of those.

Take the car to your paint supply store and have it scanned. There was a metric shitload of alternates (variances) to that color and most of them didnt match anything.

Yep, it's the U or WA number on the bottom of the RPO code sticker.
