Does the image of the door tag on the Marti Report match the door tag on the car? Or is the tag on the car missing or not legible? Can you post an image of your Marti Report?

The "TAPE" column on the door tag is for paint stripes (painted on at the factory), and Bright Canyon Red would be code "E". That code, and the other five single letter paint stripe codes, is for the LX trim levels (coupe/hatch/convertible) only.

LX tape paint stripe codes/colors
A = Black
B = Bright Regatta Blue (coupe/hatch only)
E = Bright Canyon Red
Q = Medium Academy Blue
W = White (convertible only)
Y = Medium Champagne

If the stripes were deleted at the factory it would have been indicated in the comments on (at the bottom of) the build sheet. I have seen a few 1986 Saleen build sheets that have the comment DELETE PAINT STRIPES. i have also seen a couple of 1985 CHP build sheets that have the comment DELETE STRIPES. there may have been other ways for the factory to build an LX without the stripes, but I don't know.
