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

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.

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

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.
