Nice looking bird. I did the same thing as you. I had a 99 firebird for a while until I was able to muster up enough money to buy my WS6. The LS1 will come soon enough.

The Firebird had the W68 package (ground effects) and the Y87 package (performance package). I bought the hood off of a member on here for $500 in pretty decent shape, it was a Gm hood.

i want to get the hood so bad but 500, which seems to be the going rate, is just too much for me right now. what did the w68 cost or was it already on the car?

Save your money and put that $500 towards your LS1

The w68 package came on the car. I know it's insanely expensive to buy from a dealership.
