Default Ram Air hoods on firebird/formulas?

Hey guys,
I really love the look of the ram air hoods, but don't have the money right now to buy a trans am, so I'm stuck with the base firebird. I was wondering, will the WS6 hoods just bolt right in where the current sleak beak hood is? Or are there different bolts/hinges I have to get to make them fit?
I also wanted to know where I can buy an OEM WS6 hood? I'm just not a fan of the WS9 outlaw or super hawk hood, and I don't really want to have to play around with the fitment of aftermarket hoods.
Thanks so much!

Pretty sure they bolt right on in place of the hood you already have. Only difference is the ram air part, not the hood struts or any of the bolts/hinges. If you were closer, I'd sell you my OE WS6 hood.

Yes. A 98-02 ram air hood will interchange with a 98-02 sleek beak hood.

Negative, bolts right up to the same hinges.

There are many that pop up for sale on here, that's how I got mine. Just be prepared, they are a bit more pricy than aftermarket hoods. If you're patient, you can find one for a really good price. You can also watch eBay and look in your local craigslist, lots of folks wind up parting theirs out on there as well.

VFN is known to have really good fitment right out of the box. Lots of people on here have had good luck with their regular WS6 hoods. If push comes to shove and you can't find a used one, they would be good alternative.
