widebody

Where on the car can In find the option plate that would tell me if the car is actually a factory wide body?

under the front bonnet, near the front latch is the options and paint code sticker

You can also call Porsche at 1-800-PORSCHE, talk to customer service, and give them your VIN. They can read off the option codes for that VIN from the computer. They can't tell you what the codes mean, however, there are several decoding sources.
