Headed seats or heated seats?

The Firehawks were done by SLP, the WS6 cars were done by ASC.

If your cars is a true WS6 car it should have RPO "WS6' on the drivers side door sticker.

the driver side door was crashed and its a new door so it has no stickers. Any other place that it would have any kind of sticker and yes it was it sould have been heated seats. so its not true that only firehawks came out with the heated seats. what SLP parts did the firehawk come with?

WU6 is the later 4th gen 'Firehawk' RPO code. But if the driver's door was replaced, then there's a good chance there's no decals on it.
Check the passenger door jam for an SLP tag that shows the added SLP options.

No 4th gen Firebird/Formula/TransAm/Firehawk came from the factory with heated seats.

Simply look at the front of the hoods above & determine what yours looks like.
WS6 or Firehawk. Hard to believe someone could buy one of these car, & not have a clue how to determine what it is. Sorry, don't mean to be harsh but, ...

The general Firehawk option included the hood, & silver wheels, & possibly some minor suspension changes. Then extra $ options were special suspensions like the Bilstein or 1LE, chrome wheels, mats, deck mat, spoilers, etc., etc., ...

'98+ f-bods have the RPO decal on the drivers door. STUPID idea on GM's part to move it there from the glovebox location on the earlier f-bods, for obvious reasons.
