Used car - easy way to determine how optioned?

I recently bought an '02 C4 Cab and am wondering if there is a way to get a listing of how it was ordered, i.e. paint code, option list, etc. I seem to remember that there is a way to do so with the VIN, but not sure. Did a search - no joy. Thanks!

Thumbs up

thanks, buzz...I guess after I write down the codes there is something on the net that I can cross-reference the numbers to? Is the name of the paint there too?

I don't have many pictures (haven't had the ride very long). Here's one with the TAs freshly installed. I know I need a drop...that's coming next month.

nice ride, looks very clean

personally i hate orange so i would get clear side markers, i think it really cleans up the look of a car, especially black

welcome

thanks, bro...I definitely plan on getting some clear side markers and bumper plugs. That and coilovers or springs to lower it down and I think I will be happy with the exterior.
