I took about a month and a half, due to the painting process.

I was thinking of ordering one and having them paint it but I wasn't sure if they could match the color. But it looks like they got it right with BLOODTA.

WS6 Hood

They use the OE paint, that's why it was dead on. If they can match the Maple Red Metallic, i'm sure they can match the other colors that are a little more popular.

I got mine from a friend who had an SS so the fitment is pretty good. his car happened to also be red which made the deal even sweeter

I don't believe that you can get the OEM hoods from GM anymore due to them not producing the cars anymore, and if you could they were ridiculously priced. The only other piece that you would need would be a WS6 emblem for the back bumper, which coincidently are also ridiculously overpriced.

look very closely at some of the hoods, they arent all exact replications of the ws6. example, the suncoast one appears to have a smaller right nostril and doesnt have an edge around it. looks very cheap imo
