I happen to own a California 1988 Iron Duke Coupe, with what was called the WO2 option, apparently ONLY offered on the Coupe, in Red or White only, and ONLY on the West Coast. It included the wing, and a monochrome treatment of the rocker panel, with special rubber trim on it, and a monochromatic lower valance panel of the rear bumper. Does anyone else have this option?....I would like to post a pic of mine, but don't know how yet.....

It looks like an 88 Coupe with the rear bumper painted all the same color (not the lower part black) and the rockers under the doors are painted the same color as the car and not black. But the front bumper air dam is still black. Looks a bit odd to me.
I am actually going to paint the black air dam, using epoxy undercoat, the same color...and hope I don't hit anything....much. Thanks for the image link, Kenny, uh Neils88.
This is actually a legit RPO option package - I originally did not believe it myself until I actually came across a white one some time back.
W02 - the "Western" edition as the OP has referred to it here - is a "Sport Appearance Package" RPO assigned to 1988 base coupe models in red and white only. It is an oddity because at first it appears that the car has been modified. It will carry body-colored lower trim pieces, a spoiler like would appear on the Formula, but since this is an '88 model it would only have a single exhaust but dual exhaust cut-outs since all '88 four cylinder models carried that layout to save production costs (use one rear fascia for both four cylinder coupe and the Formula).
Otherwise it will be the same as any other 1988 four cylinder car.
It's for sure very odd. Likely many, many have came across these cars not knowing what they are, especially considering how common white and red are for Fiero colors. For sure looking forward to seeing photos of it.
I've seen this on 88 coupes in the past and really thought nothing more of it. Seemed like since the end was coming they were just slapping them together paint be damned.
But I never knew it was an actual option package. For only the West Coast? That just seems even odder.
I have learned something new today, (about a Fiero!)
And as I said this is why this option can be tricky. From the back it looks like a standard base coupe with the dual cutouts and only one exhaust side, yet with the spoiler and a notchback it can look like a Formula, yet can seem to some it is simply a modified base coupe. Keep an eye out for that W02 option on any '88 coupe that looks modified.
Heh... I missed this particular thread. Here's mine.
Ray, if you're still keeping up with them, I'll send you my VIN, and all the particulars. It's one of the most sparsely optioned Fieros I've ever seen.
Mine white 88 looks the same. T-top is a dealer install. I bought it as a roller in Oct 21. Unfortunately I cannot upload a picture - I think that the file size is too large.

Reminds me of that "west coast" 87? GT that was white only and monochrome like an 88 GT. It had an option code and was only sold through one dealer in CA. I think there were like 100 made.
I have some weird pin-striping on my hood that was there when I bought the car in 1996 w/ 43k miles on it. At the time, my uncle owned it, and he'd had it for 4 years, and it was on there when he bought it too. The original owner was NOT a car guy, he was an intel analyst with the CIA and bought it when he was living in Illinois, and my uncle bought it from him. It spent like most of it's first 7 years in a storage unit when the guy was overseas. I wonder if that was some weird dealer thing, or if there's an RPO code for hood pin-striping. It seems to be under the clear-coat.
