It has 57000 miles on it and from what I can tell just flowmaster. It has a short shifter. I got another set of c5 black rims Im going to throw on.

Im going to start modding heavy after I finish my vette. I need a full suspension for that.

So I figure next month Im going to buy Full exhaust and full suspension for the Ws6.

I was just wondering that...hood doesn't have the decals but the fit looks tight, aftermarket hoods usually don't fit that well. Maybe it was painted?

That's the first thing I thought as well (I have those exact chrome T/A wheels on my Z28),
I just assumed that it was a WS6 with 16" T/A wheels on it.

My Hood probably fit the best of most aftermarket hoods and that spent a great deal of time having the nose and fenders realigned. Factory lettering on the hood are known to come off or flake off. Some people either replace or remove completely.

The Rims are definitly for Non WS.6 cars. But then again I have seen a CETA car traded in at a dealership with 16" Silver Twist Rims and not the Black rims it should have had. So anything is possible.

The RPO code will tell all.
