yeah can you put a trans am high rise spoiler on too? will that work or would you need a new hatch

front bumpers are different, rear bumpers are different, and hatches are also different. you can't just swap spoilers.

so negative on the bumper swap? u mean they are different looking, or different like they wont fit

They will fit, but in order to make your v6 or formula look like a T/A, you have to swap the front and rear bumpers and the hatch.

Just don't put the T/A badges on it and lie and say it's a T/A. Most people won't care if you swap the T/A stuff over as long as you don't try to pass it off as a real T/A.

Yes, but putting the body kit on a Formula still won't give you a real Trans Am.

heh yeah thats true. thanks for the advice man

IMO buy a full body kit FOR a formula, (not a T/A oem kit) and then do a add on lip/spoiler to the stock firebird lip, like the mecham add ons. that way its still unique as a formy with a more agressive look

Yes they frown upon it. Why would you want to take a good looking car and make it ugly. F u c k all of you who quote me and change my words and say fixed.

[chrisfrom nj]

if you can do it do it

[ar0ck]

I've always been a fan of the early LT1 T/A's with the bumpers but low rise spoiler. But the Firebird/Formula front end looks incredible with a Ram Air I hood too.

[procamaroz28]

i HATE the stupid ass t/a body kit thats why i sold my old t/a and hoped to buy a formula cause formulas look alot better...

[madness410]

wow i donno guys...personally i like the trans am because of the rear...the front kind of looks like a space ship but i figured if you are going to do the rear might as well do the front

[Mike]

its not a body kit, its the body.

you would also need to change the foglights
