The factory could not get the paint to match correctly.

Color does look good, not my cup of tea though. Glad he is stating outright it isn't a true WS6 and didn't badge it as such.

I love my MRM Firebird. Really looking forward to getting the WS6 hood on mine.

+1. There's a MRM TA 'vert in my neck of the woods w/ a WS6 hood. No badges or "Ram Air" decals on the hood either. STILL a sharp looking car. IIRC, it has the Taupe top too. Can't deny the hood adds visual appeal.

I felt the same way when I got mine. But I have never seen the same color TA yet in my city. One day I'll get a ws6 hood and have it looking this good. Already have ws6 wheels for mine.

I dont have any badges on my car. As you can see I dont even have the ta badges on the doors. I do not try to pass mine off as a ws6 but I cant stand the look of a flat hood.

Yep, it's an awesome color. While I wasn't too picky about color when I bought one, I'm glad I bought such a rare color. There was only one other one at the Trans Am Nationals this year. I've seen two other MRM Trans Ams up here in Toledo in the last 5 years. Seen about half dozen V6 MRM Birds and have never seen a MRM Formula in person.

Before I bought my TA I was looking at a MRM formula. Glad I didn't buy it. They look the best in the sunlight.

I have a MRM Formula, i've looked around on here and other places on the web and haven't seen but one other. Everytime i think i see one it turns out to be a v6 car.

This guy has a MRM Formula. Used to post quite at bit back in 06 and 07, but kinda fell off. But MRM Formulas are pretty damn rare. Good find man.

Ya, that guy was the only one i could really find on tech. I actually had no idea what i had color wise until i joined here. Your car looks killer man, love the shots with the '00 specific salad shooter type wheels especially. I would do terrible things to get ahold of those wheels lol.

When I ordered my Formula I was torn between MRM and NBM. The wife swung the vote to NBM. I am glad I got the NBM it turns purple in the bright sunlight.
