Default Will Trans Am panels mount right on a formula?

As in, put the 93-97 trans am rear bumper and hatch on my 94 formula? I love the way the bumper looks with the CETA panel and the raised spoiler as opposed to the lowered spoiler on my formula.

Would they bolt right up? Do I need the side skirts from the Trans am also?

Thank you for the response! Any opinions on how a 94 formula would look with a TA hatch and rear bumper?

What about just the ta hatch / spoiler and the ws6 ram air hood. semi-firehawk clone style. i might not want to go as far as changing the rear bumper as it's mostly the raised spoiler look i want.

The Trans Am side skirts, rear bumper, and spoiler are exactly the same from 1993-2002. Unless you're referring to a 93-97 Firebird/Formula front bumper looking worse with Trans Am side skirts/rear bumper/spoiler than a 98-02 front bumper with the same setup. If so, I agree.

Xer0ta: I did this with my 95 formula. I bought a t/a hatch, rear bumper cover, side skirts and tail lights (went back to LT1 style tail lights). Everything will bolt up 100%. I loved the look of the formula when I first bought it 8 years ago but then decided that I wanted the more agressive look of the T/A. I am glad that I did it. Here are a few before/after pics..

Bad before pic, LOL!!


After

Default side skirts

no need to drill holes in your rocker panels! just use screws on the bottom side and 3M double sided tape on the top.

To get the wing you need to swap the full hatch and glass. I was going to do it on the red trans am but couldn't find the full package locally.

I did the same on my 93 Formula. I love the look. However, I just need to repaint the bumpers. The red didn't match as close as I would've liked. Doesn't look bad without T/A side skirts
