I don't believe they made the WS6 in the Maple Red Metallic color. (MRM)
Must have been an aftermarket hood, ...

Search Maple Red Metallic, you'll find a photo, ...

Yeah, it was aftermarket. That's what I'm planning on doing with mine though. No WS6 MRM, NBM, and no SS's in Cayenne and some other color. Here are two pics of a car that GMMG made.

Love that color... course, I am slighty impartial, I own a 00 MRM T/A, just with the ebony interior.

Well, then it's a clone. Not a true WS6. I have a Ram Air Maple Red Metallic Trans Am. I say it's "Ram Air", not WS6. Stretch things a little.

They produced NBM WS6 'birds. I know two different people that own one.

Maple red is awesome. It is like a color shifting metallic. Different shades in many different lighting. I wanted something different, and that is why I picked the MRM. I did here once that ONE WS6 was produced but not for sale to the general public. It was a high ranking GM execs personal car. Not sure on the truth, but I remember hearing that awhile back.

Must be a clone, ..., Even I can buy 'WS.6' badges & put on my Firehawk, ...
Then it would be a 'one-of-a-kind', & be worth a fortune.

Unless it has the RPO code... WS6 on the sticker on the door it isn't the real deal.
