or could have been wrecked and repainted, shop didnt put the decals back on and owner couldn't afford the ws6 hood which in OEM form is very expensive

I bought mine with no WS6 emblem. They are worth good money so they might have took it off before they sold it, or someone might have stolen it.

If they were taken off early enough, there shouldn't have been too many issues with the adhesive damaging the paint.

The repaint theory is also a good one too. Any visible tape lines in the door jamb area or under the hood?

the only reason I mentioned the repaint theory is b/c my last trans am was a red convertible. It had the ram air hood but had no decals anywhere on it. It had been repainted and I noticed it had the oem air box. I didnt think it was a WS6 b/c it had 16" chrome 5 stars but.....the convertible ram air's did. I checked the door and sure enough it was a WS-6. 1 of 90 red verts. Really nice car until the Mac truck pulled out in front of me.......

Not too likely it was damaged and repainted in BOTH the front and rear. If the RPO decal on the door contains "WS6" and the VIN on that decal matches your dash VIN plate, then you have a for-real WS6. Years ago, lots of people had problems of getting the rear badge stolen, so that's a possibility. Also, the hood decals are over the clear, so it's not hard to remove those either. Although a shift handle that was taped on would make me suspicious of other shenanagans w/ the car, even though the ODO only shows 9K.

Are you saying that the factory did not install the "Ram Air" decals on the hood of WS6s?? I've NEVER seen a real WS6 (or heard of one) without the hood decals, unless of course the hood had been re-painted or the owner removed them.
