Default Great looking WS-9 Badge....

I bought this from a guy on eBay (muffinbuster). I really thought it was pricey at $49.95. But when I got it in the mail today, I was really impressed!!! Worth every penny.

The quality is the best I've ever seen for an aftermarket product. He also does WS-6 and WS-7 badges...in colors...

When people make a TA into a WS6 clone they usually slap on a WS9 badge.

Lol, says who? WS7 was just coined by people that make clones, WS9 is the conversion code from a Firebird to a Formula, so technically a base model hood is the WS9 hood.

Yeah, the WS-9 thing is kind of a controversial topic. I've checked my door trim tag and it has a "WS9" code. I believe all V8 Firebirds after 97 have that code, regardless of weather its a Formula, TA or WS6.

Plus I bought a "WS-9" (trademark) hood from U.S. Exotics, so that also justifies the WS-9 badge...

Just kind of a uniqueness thing that sets it apart from a WS-6.

The WS-9 hood has the heat extractors like a Firehawk hood... There are 4 holes in the underside of the hood that allow engine heat to escape through the vents.

He will make any color you want. Took about a week to get it. Well worth the wait.

Normal WS-9 hood from USX.

I have stock wheels right now. But I like these...

Hey Bill, Lookin' good!
It's pretty cool that you've covered both ends of the spectrum with the WS9 emblem thought. WS9 RPO code & the matching hood!
