So I have had a 2000 trans am ws6 for years. I bought it used with 43000 miles on It from a used car lot. Its unique in the fact that it has 2 tone interior like the firehawks did and it also has the slp loudmouth exhaust with 4 tip like the firehawks had,and the slp airbox lid. It also has these cool trans am badges under the ram air hood and hatch lid that I've never seen before. Can anyone shed some light on where those badges may have came from and it do you think any of this was done at slp?? It also has a white instrument cluster.

A two-tone interior was not part of the standard Firehawk package. They received the same interior options as their base trim (Formula, Trans Am) counterparts.
The two-tone interior you see on yours is definitely aftermarket, as shown by the SPID. You have an interior RPO code of 19I, that was the standard Ebony interior offered from 2000-'02.

Firehawks did not receive a Loudmouth system from the factory (nor from SLP during conversion). What they did receive was an SLP dual/dual system, which has the same style tips but is otherwise completely different from the loudmouth system (dual/dual uses a single in, dual out muffler in the stock location; Loudmouth has a resonator in the I-pipe and a Y-split where it crosses over the axle). The Loudmouth system is 100% aftermarket and was never issued originally on any model.

The one pictured on your car is the aftermarket version. The one that came originally on late model Firehawks (and optional on SS) was a Blackwing version which didn't look like that.

Definitely aftermarket, but I'm not sure on the source.

None of this would have been done at SLP, for two reasons. First, your car never went to SLP for anything from the factory; the LS1 WS6 models went to a company called ASC (American Sunroof Company) for conversion. Only Firehawks and SS models went to SLP during the LS1 years. Second, all of those items you have pictured are aftermarket and not anything that was offered from the factory on any model, including Firehawk. The white gauge face is also aftermarket.
