Default Any unusual paint code locations?

I can't seem locate the paint code sticker in the usual place (frunk) on my C2S. Anyone have any suggestions?

Not the easiest thing to get to, but my car had the paint code hand written on the body behind the front bumper cover.

On an unrelated note - I now know the paint code sticker in the frunk is redundant in my car. One of the car's builders scribbled a big "92.U" on the body behind the bumper. I love finding these little easter eggs. Makes the car feel more hand crafted.

Joel,
Do you have factory Litronics? My beater does and it took me a few years to realize that the paint code decal was hidden behind the driver's side ballast.

+1. Same here.

With the OEM Litronic HID head light arrangement fitted, its trunk mounted ballast partially obscures the rectangular 1.25" x 3" paint code emblem/sticker.
