? about a ws6
I looking at a 97 ws6. And I was wondering do these have a number like the camaro ss? A dash plaque. And do all ws6s have a small bird logo in front of the hood? I dont see 1 on the car.

do you mean the bird logo on the bumper cover? if there isnt one that means the bumper was probably replaced at one point.. FWIW that logo is NOT a part of the oem GM bumper, its a $50 3D plastic decal.

I hope I can.
OK. I can see it. Thanks
yeah most likely the bumper has been replaced as most body shops don't know that is a separate piece... my bumper has been replaced twice and the first time i was informed it was separate and $50+ and the second time the body shop didnt know but it came up in conversation about bumper covers and i told them it was separate and they looked it up and sure enough it was... since the insurance company was paying both times i made sure to get it.. although even if i had paid out of pocket i probably would have still got it.. the bumper looks too plain without it.

I just found this page. And the first ws6 in black 2nd pic also looks like its missing the bird.

yeah this one is definatley missing it too... so is the blue one below it on that link
regardless of whether the car is a WS6 or not (mine is not, i just added the hood/airbox) they ALL started out as Trans Ams/Formulas and they all had thse bird on the nose

I'm not really referring to the bird emblem (although that's one indicator). There's a lot of misalignment in the panels on the front end in that pic. Might not be as bad in person, but the picture throws up some red flags.
