No way to the spoiler. And if you want a new hood save yourself some money and just buy a regular TA. No major difference cept the hood anyway.

if you want to leave no part untouched get a t/a. yes the suspension is a little different on the ws6 but if your going to use high performance parts i would just get the t/a and save urself some extra cash to use twords high performance parts.

Ahh I don't much about the suspension but I don't think its that much definately not worth $$$ thw WS6's go for that I've seen.

Did a quick google search with no luck. Check the classifieds on here to see if anybody is selling one. Or ebay. lol

Kool Kool. I got mine for $7900 In April 06. Had 87,000 miles on it. You should be able to find one in your range. Just be patient.

The ws9 hood is the only other hood I would get besides my stock ws6 hood. If you want to make your bird stand out, dont overdue the exterior parts. TA's are mean as hell from the factory and us muscle guys like to keep it clean on the outside and go crazy under the hood. But you can also do a one of a kind color and some sick stripes. Take a look at this trans am, its got different rims and a different set of seats yet the same stock hood,trim, and WOW



A good color and maybe some nice stripes can make all the difference in the world.

Yea, becuase all modded cars with less cylinders are rice. GTFO.

That wing is severely distasteful, the hood looks alright, Im sure it would certainly vent some heat, if it is functional.

Anywho, its your car. Do what you want to it. Just don't be upset when people don't like it.

The comment in that context is that he is probably hanging out with a rice crowd. You have taken it very literal which is a common mistake in forums and the like, this is my fault because it was not written in detail. The OP understood what I was saying when he agreed with me earlier on. My apologies if you understand certain things better when said than when written. It is, as you can see a common occurance in forum and other messaging services. My apologies once again if I did not get my point across clearly to t. boz, as long as the op got it (to which I was talking to) well I guess there is no point in me being disturbed about your GTFO comment. For tboz what I meant to say is that perhaps the OP was hanging out with !4 and V6 import, ricey, hang out in grocery stor parking lot crowds and that is why his perception is leaning towards the out landish.

But as t boz has stated that it is your car and you can do what you want with it, this is extremley true. If we are to all unite in one opinion we will be no greater than those who we oppose. But on the other hand, he came to us for advice and so many great things have occured when a group of people have joined in alliance to oppose a greater harm. Oh how fantastic forums would be if all who came for examples of what to be done, where told "do what you want". This is flawed since none of us really do what "we" want since it is based on the flaws and greatness of others. With the exception the handful of the world population that are artists.

I am glad you are steering away from that spoiler OP and that you are considering the WS9 Outlaw. I can't wait to see your car.

To tboz, you are right I should have been more clear in my statement. In no mean did I mean to offend you or anyone you know. Sorry I can't seem to stray from the old "Surely we shall all hang together or we will all hang apart" method sometimes.
