Vin plate

Hello,

I was working on my parts car today and I noticed the Vin plate that is in the engine bay on the passenger side is a gold color. So I go and look at my other rx7 and it is silver. What does the gold colored Vin plate mean?

Thanks

Hello,
I had a chance to take a few pictures of the Vin plate. Also my parts car is red and my good rx7 is white.


Thanks

looks like you may have had a pulsation damper leak and a small fire at one point. the plate in my 88 TII is much the same dues to a pd leak and a fire before i bought the car.
