Default Hood Material
I just bought a 99 T/A and it has a WS6 hood but is not a WS6 car. The hod was bought off another car and is fiberglass. Are the factory WS6 hood steel or fiberglass? thx in advance.

i want to say steel but i am not sure on this one. all the aftermarket WS6 hoods i have seen have been fiberglass so i would lean towards saying u have an aftermarket one.
