Buy a FIREHAWK, you'll be hard pressed to see another on the streets, The small ram air scoops make it look almost like a reg TA, plus with the IROC spoiler many people think its a firebird, so its kinda a sleeper. MY $0.02

You can get the WS6 hood for about $600 and the raised airbox runs $100. Painting will be about $250 and you should be able to install it yourself. So the TA will look like a WS6 for about $1100 after you add some shipping costs. Since most WS6's cost 2-4K more then a regular TA it is definately cheaper to go this route as long as the smaller rims and lack of badge do not bother you.
I personally don't like the WS7 badge. But that's just me.
