What year?, ..., is the first question, ...
Find the tags in the door jamb?
99-02, look for WU6 in the RPO code GM sticker on the drivers door jamb.
Other people can tell you the 93-97 code, & earlier clues.

Find the SLP & GM RPO tags in the door jambs.
Look for WU6 in the RPO code GM sticker on the drivers door jamb. (This is the MAIN thing you need to find to verify it was originally built as a Firehawk optioned car.)
Look for the SLP second sticker tag on the passenger door jamb. That will tell you what optional equipment the car came with.
Look for the SLP tire & modification tags on the driver's door jamb.
