To be certain, go to a dealer with your vin and they can tell you, as well as the vehicle history report.

Like said above, look for WS6 RPO code or check VIN at dealer. Also, the car is almost 10 years old so why would fading paint mean a hood was added/repainted? The hood is usually the first to show signs of aging paint.

WS6 hood is fiberglass and a lot more susceptible to sun damage than the rest of the car. Mine is fading/bubbling pretty badly.
