OEM ws6 hood?
How do I tell if the ram air hood on my car is a legit Pontiac hood? Car is not a factory ws6 car...
Thank you.

OEM ws6 hood?
place a magnet on the hood. OEM Ram Air hoods are not fiberglass.

Scott,
Bit puzzled... i thought the WS6 hood was SMC?
Maybe you mean it'll stick to the steel pieces near the lock area?

After thinking about it the only real way I can think of is that the WS6 hoods have no fitment issues where almost all aftermarket fiberglass hoods do. I have yet to see an aftermarket one that didn't need some work to make it fit or look properly.

Phew....
I'm getting old too!!
Still in my fifties and i have just had both eyes done for cataracts!!
I have the vision of Steve Austin now!
Ok... back on track. I did read something once about the "nostrils" and the fixing
points for the grilles within and also general shape of them which if you put a factory hood
next to a copy you can see the difference.
Can't remember where though?
