AGAIN the only way to tell if a car is a factory WS6 optioned car is by the codes in the door...period. PLUS its the easiest way....open the door and look....it takes 5 sec.

You really need to post large pictures of the nostrils on the outside and pictures from underneath the hood as well. But again, for it to be a true factory WS6 hood, someone spent a butt load of money on it new, or they got it off another factory WS6 which again, is an expensive route to go.

Chances really are good that it's an aftermarket hood.

no i am not saying that. i am saying that every tom and dick in the small towns that try to take a sleek beek and put a WS6 hood aon it and sell it as a ws6. dont know abou the dam lower air box. so it is easy to see.

i didnt notice that he had posted the codes.
